Still tied up in the war’s hotter zones, the Israeli army engaged on two additional fronts over the weekend, with a strike against sites in Syria and defensive measures in response to a deadly terrorist incident on the Jordanian border.

Israel conducted missile strikes against several sites in Syria late on Sept. 8, Syrian state media said the following day.
