Syria calls deadly Israeli operation a ‘war crime’

Syria condemns the Israeli military operation in southern Syria that killed 13 people overnight as a “war crime.”

“Syria denounces… the criminal aggression” of the Israeli army in the village of Beit Jin, the foreign ministry says in a statement, adding that such acts aim to “ignite the region” in conflict.

“This is a war crime.”

During the operation, IDF troops exchanged fire with Syrian gunmen, leaving six soldiers wounded, while the Israeli Air Force carried out supporting airstrikes, causing multiple casualties among the Syrian forces.

Three Syrian terror suspects were taken into IDF custody.
