Eight Syrian soldiers were injured in Israeli airstrikes near Damascus on Thursday night, according to Syria's defence ministry. The strikes, launched from the occupied Syrian Golan, targeted a site near Damascus. Israel rarely comments on individual strikes but has repeatedly targeted Iranian presence in Syria. The strikes have increased since Israel's war with Hamas began in October. Recent tensions have escalated with Iran launching drones and missiles against Israel in April, retaliating against a deadly strike on Tehran's consulate in Damascus.
