Ten Killed in Israeli Raid in Southern Syria

At least 10 people, including children, were killed in an Israeli raid on Beit Jinn, a village in southern Syria, marking one of the deadliest incidents in months. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed the operation targeted the Jaama Islamiya militant group to detain militants planning attacks against Israeli civilians, resulting in clashes that injured six Israeli soldiers. Syrian state media reported air strikes and shelling during the raid, with local hospitals receiving multiple casualties. Israel frequently conducts operations in southern Syria to counter perceived threats from armed groups, despite ongoing US-mediated talks for a security agreement.
