The individual, identified as Farid Fuad Mustafa, was targeted in an area near his house in the village of Hader near Quneitra Province on Wednesday, Syrian and Arab state media reported.
The 46-year-old soldier was said to be a member of the Syrian army.
While initial reports said that Mustafa died in an Israeli drone strike, Syria’s official SANA broadcaster said he was killed by a “guided missile” fired from an Israeli military site in the occupied Golan Heights.
The Syrian soldier was transferred to a nearby hospital but he succumbed to his injuries.
On Saturday, two civilians, including a woman were also injured during Israel’s missile attacks against Syria’s western port city of Tartus.
The developments came less than a month after an Israeli airstrike targeted some points south of the Syrian capital city of Damascus, including the international airport, causing significant damage to infrastructure and runways. The airport was closed for two weeks and flights resumed on June 23.
