Israel has carried out a rocket attack in Syria's Golan Heights region, according to Syrian state news and the Israeli military.
"An Israeli missile targeted Tel al-Shaar in Quneitra," the Syrian news agency SANA said, adding that a "military vehicle was targeted and there are wounded."
Israel's military confirmed the attack in a statement posted on social media on Monday, saying it had been in retaliation for anti-aircraft fire at an Israeli fighter jet earlier on Monday.
It said that the projectile missed a jet during a routine flight in Israel and that the plane completed its journey before the Israeli military "targeted the launcher that had fired" at the jet.
Israel's statement came after the Syrian state-owned television channel Al Ekhbariya said one soldier had been killed and another injured in the attack in Quneitra province, which is adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights.
"Our policy is clear - we are not prepared to tolerate any aggression against us, we will retaliate against it forcefully and decisively," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement on Monday.
Earlier this month, Syrian media reported two incidents in which Israeli air attacks hit inside southern Syria.
Israel does not usually comment on reports concerning its raids in neighbouring Syria, though it has recently acknowledged hitting what it says are Iranian and Hezbollah targets there.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese armed and political group that, along with Iran, supports Bashar al-Assad.
The Israeli air attack comes amid soaring tensions in the region between the United States and Israel's arch foe Iran.
