Attacks
[edit]During the Syrian civil war, Samadanieh al-Sharqiyeh became a site of clashes between forces loyal to the Assad regime and the opposition in 2017.[2][1]
After a stray mortar shell from fighting in Syria landed in an open area in the northern Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, the Israeli Air Force targeted Assad-regime forces in Samadanieh al-Sharqiyeh, which caused damage and destroyed mortar launchers.[3][4][5]
