Syrian officer killed in Israeli airstrike against military sites in country's south
A Syrian officer has been killed when Israeli aircraft carried out a strike against two military installations in the southern side of the Arab country.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that “the Israeli enemy carried out an aggression using drones against two military positions of our armed forces in the provinces of Quneitra and Dara'a,” at around 7:00 a.m. local time (0400 GMT) on Wednesday.
The report added that the attack resulted in the death of an officer and material damage.
The Israeli airstrike against the crisis-hit Arab nation comes amid the regime’s bloody onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the coastal territory, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, since Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7.
At least 37,396 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while another 85,523 individuals have sustained injuries.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups opposing the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad.
