Syria's government condemned an Israeli strike on the village of Beit Jinn, located southwest of Damascus, saying a civilian vehicle was hit and several people were injured.

The attack marked the second reported Israeli strike on Syria in the past week, with Damascus calling it a violation of its sovereignty and international law.

The Israeli military said on X that it had targeted a terrorist in the final stages of preparing attacks that posed an immediate threat to soldiers.

The latest incident followed reports that Israel struck the Abu al-Duhur military airbase near the Turkish border, a development Syria warned could raise tensions in the region.

The United States issued a rare rebuke, describing the earlier strike as an unnecessary escalation that did not advance regional stability.
