Israel said it conducted an attack in southern Syria on Saturday, describing the target as a “terrorist” whose activity posed an immediate threat to Israeli soldiers, according to Reuters.

Syrian state media, via the country’s foreign ministry, said the strike was a drone attack on a civilian vehicle on a road near Beit Jinn village, in the countryside west of Damascus, and that civilians were injured.

Syria condemned the action as a “blatant” violation of its territory, adding that it fits a pattern of repeated Israeli attacks on Syrian territory.

The Israeli military did not specify how it carried out the firing in its statement, Reuters reported.
