SaralnamaOn 26 Aug 2025, Israeli drone strikes near the southern Damascus suburb of Kiswah killed six Syrian soldiers, Syria's government said. The soldiers were reportedly trying to remove surveillance devices when attacked. The strikes continued on 27 Aug, followed by an Israeli airborne landing at a former military site in Kiswah. Syrian sources said Israeli troops stayed for over two hours with search equipment. Syria condemned the attacks as violations of international law and breaches of sovereignty. Israel has carried out many airstrikes in Syria since December 2024, targeting military sites to prevent weapons reaching extremists. The recent attacks come amid ongoing tensions and talks between the two countries. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 18:51 IST; source: link)
