The IDF confirms carrying out a strike in southwest Syria a short while ago, saying it targeted a terror operative “who advanced terror attacks in final stages of preparation.”

“The terrorist’s activity posed an immediate threat to our forces,” the military says.

Syrian media reported that the strike in Beit Jinn injured one person. The town is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Israeli border.
