Israeli Air Strike in Syria Wounds Two Soldiers: State Media
Two Syrian soldiers were injured and material damage was sustained in an Israeli air attack on military posts in Syria's Deir Az Zor region. The attack targeted positions near the Syrian-Iraq border and was carried out by unidentified warplanes. Israel has been conducting unacknowledged attacks in Syria against Iran-linked targets, as Tehran's influence in the country grows. The Israeli army has not commented on the latest attack. The civil war in Syria, which began in 2011, has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and displacement of millions.
