Israeli drone strikes in a Damascus suburb killed eight Syrian soldiers, according to Syrian officials and a war monitor. The Syrian government condemned the attacks as violations of international law and sovereignty. Israel hasn't commented, but its defense minister stated that Israeli forces will remain in a security zone to protect settlements from Syrian threats, citing the recent Hamas attack. The strikes targeted a military area, and additional strikes occurred later. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported on the incidents, noting casualties and multiple strikes.
