DAMASCUS, April 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Syrian state media said Israeli fire killed a man in Qunietra province in the country's south near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as the foreign ministry decried the death of a civilian. 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. Syria's foreign ministry in a statement condemned "in the strongest terms the crime committed by Israeli occupation forces in targeting a civilian car with a tank shell". After the December 2024 overthrow of Syria's longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel sent troops into a UN-patrolled buffer zone that separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights. The Israeli strikes came as war roils the Middle East after the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.
