Syrian soldier killed by suspected Israeli airstrike
The Syrian military made a somewhat rare acknowledgment that one of its soldiers was killed in an alleged Israeli air attack.
The Syrian military said Thursday that one of its soldiers died in a recent Israeli airstrike.
The operation was launched Wednesday night by the “Israeli enemy” from Al-Tanf in southern Syria towards Palmyra in the west. It targeted a communications tower and some surrounding sites. One soldier was killed and three others were injured, and there was also material damage to the area, the Syrian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
