The IDF says it fired on a suspect who approached the Israeli border in southern Syria this evening.
Syria’s state-run SANA news agency reported that an Israeli tank fired on a car in the Quneitra area, killing a man.
In response to a query, the IDF says soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras identified a suspect in southern Syria who was approaching the border.
“IDF troops fired warning shots. A hit was identified,” the military says.
