Israeli drone strikes killed six Syrian soldiers outside Damascus, state television reported Wednesday (August 27, 2025), updating the toll for attacks the previous day, which also saw a man killed in the south.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since an Islamist-led alliance toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December.
It has also opened talks with the interim authorities in Damascus.
âSix members of the Syrian Arab Army were killed in strikes by Israeli occupation dronesâ near Kisweh, outside Damascus, state television said referring to the Tuesday (August 26, 2025) attack.
A Defence Ministry official had previously told AFP on condition of anonymity that an Israeli drone targeted âone of the military buildings of the 44th Divisionâ.
The Israeli military did not respond to an AFP request for comment.
Earlier Tuesday (August 26, 2025), state news agency SANA reported that âa young man was killed in an Israeli strike on a home in the village of Taranjaâ, on the formerly Syria-controlled side of the armistice line on the Golan Heights.
Since Assadâs overthrow, Israel has occupied much of a U.N.-patrolled demilitarised zone on the formerly Syria-controlled side of the armistice line.
