IDF says it struck Syrian 'terrorist' operating alongside Syria-Lebanon border
Earlier this week, Israeli troops apprehended two suspects riding a motorcycle toward an Israeli military post in the security zone in southern Syria, and shot and killed another suspect who attempted to enter an Israeli military post in the region
An Israeli drone attack on Friday resulted in six people being wounded in the northeast Lebanon, close to the Syrian border. Israel claimed the target was a "Syrian terrorist" named Yusuf Ali al-Hassoun, who allegedly planned anti-Israel attacks. The attack occurred in the town of Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali, in the Hermel district. Lebanon's health ministry reported that five of the wounded were Syrian nationals, two women, and one Lebanese.
The incident took place in an area that has largely avoided such attacks since an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire was reached in June. Israel's military stated that the drone strike was carried out to eliminate an immediate threat from the Syrian terrorist, who they said operated under the direction of the Iranian regime and posed a danger to Israeli civilians and soldiers in southern Syria. Israel stated it would continue to operate to neutralize such threats across all fronts.
