Israeli strikes kill 13 in Syria

Israeli troops have killed 13 people and injured 25 others in a strike on Beit Jinn in the Damascus countryside, Syrian state media reported.

According to reports from Al Jazeera, Syrian Civil Defence said that they were unable to enter Beit Jinn for rescue operations due to sustained targeting from the Israeli military.

The Al Jazeera report mentioned that most of the casualties from Friday’s attack were civilians.

UN Deputy Special Envoy to Syria, Najat Rochdi, condemned the attacks as a “grave and unacceptable violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
