Syria condemns Israeli strike on 'civilian vehicle' near Damascus

Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned an Israeli strike on a civilian vehicle near Damascus, calling it a "flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Syria. The attack, which wounded at least one person, occurred west of the capital city. According to Syrian media, the Israeli military claimed the strike was aimed at an individual posing an immediate threat to its forces operating in the region.

The ministry denounced the action as a "blatant breach of international law," warning that it will escalate tensions in the region and jeopardize civilian security. This attack follows a series of Israeli air strikes on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria's Idlib province, which Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz attributed to intelligence suggesting Turkish plans to deploy troops in the area.
