Syrians say 13 killed by Israel after clash with IDF left six soldiers wounded

Israel said six IDF reservists were wounded in clashes with local armed groups in the southern Syrian village of Beit Jinn on Friday, as Syrian authorities reported at least 13 people killed in Israeli attacks. The incident left three soldiers seriously wounded, the army said, including two officers.

According to the IDF, a force from the 55th Paratroopers Brigade arrested two wanted individuals, who are also brothers, affiliated with the Al-Jama'a al-Islamiyya group. The group is allied with the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

As the IDF was withdrawing from Beit Jinn, an exchange of fire broke out, prompting the dispatch of Israel Air Force fighter jets and drones, which struck several locations where the gunmen were believed to be entrenched. The statement added that the gunmen attacked an IDF Humvee, which was later struck by the military.

According to the reports, several shooting incidents involving gunmen from local militias were documented. The army said that in recent weeks, dozens of wanted individuals have been arrested in the area.
