Man with disability killed by Israeli fire in Syria: report

A civilian with special needs was killed during an Israeli forces raid Thursday on the village of Jamla in southern Syria’s Daraa province, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.

It did not give more details about how the disabled man was killed. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After the ouster of former Syrian President Bashar Assad in a lightning rebel offensive in December 2024, Israel seized control of a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone in southern Syria and has occupied it since.

Jamla isn't inside the Israeli occupied zone but Israeli forces often make incursions into areas outside the zone.
