Overview

• State media and a UK-based war monitor said the drones hit Kiswah, south of Damascus, killing six soldiers and injuring at least three.
• The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a follow-on “double-tap” strike that hit after paramedics reached the scene.
• The Israeli military has not issued a public comment on the operation.
• Syria’s foreign minister condemned the strike as illegal, as the Observatory counts about 95 Israeli attacks in Syria since December 2024 with roughly 60 fatalities.
• Within 24 hours, Syrian authorities reported additional strikes near Jabal al-Manea by Al Kiswah with no casualties and Israeli helicopter overflights in Sweida.
