Israeli drone strikes kill six Syrian soldiers in Damascus suburb, reports claim

Syrian state media and the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the latest drone strikes on Tuesday in the southern Damascus suburb of Kiswah killed six soldiers.

Israeli drone strikes on a southern suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus killed six soldiers and wounded others, according to state-run media and Britain-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The drone raid struck the southern Damascus suburb of Kiswah on Tuesday, Syrian state outlet Al-Ikhbariah reported.

The Observatory said the drones targeted a road that links Damascus with the southern province of Suwayda, the site of deadly clashes last month between the Bedouin and Druze communities.

Israel intervened during the fighting last month in what it said was protecting the Druze, a community of some 1 million that mostly lives in Syria, Lebanon and Israel.
