2024-11-27
[IsraelTimes] Syria’s Red Crescent says that a volunteer was killed and another was injured in alleged Israeli airstrikes on two locations along the Lebanon-Syria border on Tuesday night.

The medical organization says the volunteers were “performing their humanitarian duty of rescuing the wounded early on Wednesday.”

The reported strike is said by the Syrian Red Crescent to have damaged several ambulance and work points.

According to Syrian state media, some 18 people were injured in the strike on the Arida border crossing, while an unspecified number of casualties were reported in the alleged Israeli strike on the Dabousieh border crossing with Lebanon.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.

Syria raises death toll to 6 in alleged Israeli strikes on border crossings

[IsraelTimes] Damascus has upped the death toll to six in alleged Israeli strikes on Syrian border crossings with Lebanon which took place just after a ceasefire with Hezbollah was announced late Tuesday.

Syria’s state news agency reported four civilians and two soldiers were killed, and 12 people were wounded including children, women and Syrian Red Crescent workers.

Israel has not commented on the strikes, but has indicated it will keep up efforts against attempts to smuggle arms to Hezbollah via Syria even after the ceasefire takes effect.
Update from Rudaw at 10:40 a.m. ET:
“At 05:00 after midnight, the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of Lebanese territory, targeting the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon in the western countryside of Homs,” Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said, citing a military source.

Israel has carried out 157 strikes on Syrian territory since the beginning of the year, killing 284 combatants and wounding 245 more, according to data from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor. The strikes have also killed 55 civilians.
