“A short while ago, the IDF struck the organisation in Syria that carried out the launch of a UAV toward Eilat Thursday (yesterday).
“The UAV which hit a school in the city,’’ the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), said early on Friday.
“The IDF holds the Syrian regime fully responsible for every terror activity emanating from its territory.
“The IDF will respond severely to every aggression against Israeli territory,’’ the Israeli military added.
