Israeli drone strike targets car near Damascus, injures one

Israeli military operations in southern Syria intensified on Saturday when a drone strike hit a car near Beit Jinn, a town close to Damascus, injuring one individual, according to Syrian state media reports. The Israeli military acknowledged it was reviewing the allegations surrounding the incident. The attack took place in a region bordering the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, mere days after Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir asserted that Israel would not tolerate hostile entities establishing a presence along its borders, underscoring the country's readiness to employ its military capabilities.

Syrian state television corroborated the incident, detailing that a civilian sustained injuries following an Israeli occupation drone strike on a vehicle in the rural Damascus area of Beit Jinn. When contacted by AFP's Jerusalem bureau for further information, the Israeli military stated it was currently reviewing the reports related to the incident.

This incident is not an isolated occurrence; on Tuesday, Israeli forces launched artillery shelling in the Yarmouk Basin region of western Daraa province, although no casualties were reported as a result.
