Four killed in Syria border strike: Report

A presumed Israeli strike has hit a car near the Syria-Lebanon border, killing at least four people, reports the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The strike targeted the Lebanon-bound vehicle on Syria’s Zabadani bridge on the road connecting Damascus to Beirut, the observatory said, without providing information on the victims.

Lebanon’s An-Nahar news site shared photos and footage of the attack’s aftermath, with thick black smoke rising over a pile of wreckage on the road.

The attack would mark the 60th time Israel has hit Syrian territory this year, according to the observatory.


Hezbollah member, Palestinian fighters killed in Syria border strike: Report

The victims of an Israeli strike on a car near the Syria-Lebanon border include three Palestinian fighters and one Hezbollah member, according to security officials cited by the Reuters news agency.

The vehicle, hit while going through a checkpoint to cross into Lebanon, was not carrying weapons, said the two security sources. Israel, which regularly targets weapons shipments and other military infrastructure in Syria, has not commented on the attack.

While Israel often announces strikes it carries out in Lebanon, it rarely does so for attacks it is accused of in Syria.
