DAMASCUS: Syrian state media said Israeli fire killed a man in the Qunietra province in the country’s south near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
State news agency SANA said that the man was killed in an attack by “an Israeli tank,” while state television said a car was targeted.
Earlier, SANA reported that Israeli forces in Quneitra province had closed several roads “leading to new military positions that they have established in the area,” restricting the movement of local residents and farmers.
It also said several Israeli vehicles had set up a temporary checkpoint in a village where they searched passersby.
After the December 2024 overthrow of Syria’s longtime ruler Bashar Assad, Israel sent troops into a UN-patrolled buffer zone that separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights.
