In a deadly escalation, Israeli airstrikes targeted border crossings between Syria and Lebanon early Wednesday, resulting in six fatalities, according to Syria’s Defense Ministry. The incident occurred just hours before a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was set to begin.
The ministry confirmed the strikes were launched from Lebanese airspace, causing significant casualties. Among the six deceased were two Syrian soldiers, while the other victims were civilians. Twelve individuals sustained injuries, including women, children, and workers from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.
This attack has drawn international concern due to its timing and the civilian toll, as tensions in the region remain high despite the looming cease fire.
