Fri 28 November 2025:

Local sources tell Al Jazeera that three people were killed and others wounded in Israeli artillery and missile strikes targeting the town of Beit Jinn; Israeli soldiers were also wounded.

Another Israeli incursion into Syrian territory in the Damascus countryside at dawn has reportedly caused casualties on both sides.

Local sources told Al Jazeera on Friday that three people were killed and others wounded in Israeli artillery and missile strikes targeting the town of Beit Jinn.

Clashes between the residents and the invading Israeli force erupted after the incursion. Several Israeli soldiers were reportedly injured.

Israeli sources initially reported that two of its soldiers were wounded, while two Syrian civilians were killed. The sources added that Israeli forces arrested three Syrians before withdrawing.

Other reports say six Israeli soldiers were wounded, three of them seriously.

Israeli news outlet Yedioth Ahronoth said reports indicate that an Israeli force that had entered the Syrian village of Beit Jinn was surrounded, prompting air strikes and artillery shelling to extract and force its withdrawal. This resulted in the deaths of several Syrians and injuries to others.

The area had witnessed an exchange of fire involving Israeli military helicopters after an Israeli force entered the town.

The Israeli army frequently carries out ground incursions into Syrian territory in Quneitra province in the occupied Golan Heights and Damascus countryside governorates.

Israeli military incursions have become more brazen, more frequent and more violent since Israel expanded its occupation of southern Syria following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
