Israel strikes vehicle in southern Syria, wounds one
Syria said a strike in the south wounded one person after an Israeli attack on a vehicle near Beit Jinn, southwest of Damascus, and published a photo of a damaged truck. Israel said it fired at a “terrorist” who was in the final stages of preparing attacks and said the activity posed an immediate threat to its soldiers. The incident follows hundreds of Israeli strikes and troop deployments in southern Syria since the December 2024 overthrow of Bashar al Assad, and comes amid recent exchanges over an air base strike and heightened diplomatic tensions with Turkey.
