> Syria condemned an Israeli attack on Beit Jinn, southwest of Damascus, saying it hit a civilian vehicle and injured several people. Israel’s military said it had targeted a “terrorist” in the final stages of preparing attacks that posed an immediate threat to soldiers. Syria called it the second known Israeli strike on the country in a week and a violation of its sovereignty and international law.
