Syrian soldier dies after Israeli raid: Monitor

A Syrian soldier has died of his wounds after Israeli raids on the country’s south, which came in alleged retaliation for rocket fire, a war monitor has said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the country’s 13-year-old civil conflict, reported late Sunday that “groups affiliated with Lebanon’s Hezbollah shot three rockets from Syrian territory” towards the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

In response, Israeli forces targeted “three positions in Deraa province” in southern Syria, said the Britain-based Observatory.

It said that “a member of the [Syrian] regime forces was killed” after being wounded in the bombardment.

 

Israeli war cabinet decides to send negotiators for talks, continue Rafah operation

Ofir Gendelman, the Arabic language spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says on X that the proposal Hamas agreed to for a ceasefire in Gaza is “far from Israel’s necessary demands,” but that a delegation will be sent nonetheless.

“The war cabinet unanimously decided that Israel would continue the operation in Rafah in order to exert military pressure on Hamas,” Gendelman added “with the aim of pushing forward the release of our kidnapped and achieving the goals of the war”.
