5 Syrian soldiers killed in purported Israeli airstrike near Lebanon border — state media
A purported Israeli air strike kills five Syrian soldiers near the border with Lebanon, the official news agency SANA reports, citing a military source.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial attack… on one of our military positions near Kfar Yabus on the Syrian-Lebanese border,” SANA says, adding that five Syrian soldiers were killed and one was wounded.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF on the strike, which rarely publicly comments on strikes in Syria.
