It said children were among the dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sana news agency said residents of Beit Jinn &#8220;confronted&#8221; Israeli troops, leading to a firefight. Air strikes were also carried out. Syria&#8217;s foreign ministry condemned what it called a &#8220;war crime&#8221; by Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said troops went into the village, on the edge of the occupied Golan Heights, to detain militants who it said &#8220;advanced terror attacks against Israeli civilians&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Six Israeli soldiers were injured in the clashes, three seriously, it said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The IDF said it targeted the Jamaa Islamiya militant group in Friday&#8217;s operation. It said that when the raid began, &#8220;several armed terrorists opened fire&#8221; on its soldiers, who fired back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sana said the village was also shelled. Footage released by the IDF shows two air strikes &#8211; one apparently on a group of people, and the other on a building. In bodycam footage also released by the IDF, soldiers can be seen firing on a street in the dark with the sound of automatic gunfire in the distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, said a building collapsed during the operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The IDF later said &#8220;all of the suspects were apprehended, and a number of terrorists were eliminated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sana said three people were arrested by the troops before they withdrew.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Israel said it targeted militants, although Syria said women and children were among the dead [Reuters]<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sana quoted the director of a local hospital as saying it had received bodies, including five from one family. The director said dozens of people had also been injured in the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Syrian foreign ministry said more than 10 civilians had been killed, including women and children. It accused Israel of committing a &#8220;fully-fledged war crime&#8221;, and called on the UN Security Council to do something to stop Israel&#8217;s &#8220;policy of aggression&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Israel regularly carries out incursions into Syrian villages, saying it acts to prevent the presence of armed groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Since the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad nearly a year ago, Israel has moved its forces across a buffer zone on the Golan Heights into southern Syria, where a number of anti-Israel groups and cells operate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Israel says it will not allow the Syrian army, which it considers a threat, to deploy there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The buffer zone &#8211; a demilitarised stretch of land &#8211; had been a no-go area designed to keep the peace after a ceasefire ended the 1973 war between Israel and Syria. The UN has said the IDF&#8217;s deployment there was a &#8220;violation&#8221; of the agreement which it said both sides should uphold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The US has for months been mediating talks between Israel and Syria for a security agreement in the area between the two sides, but without success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/ten-killed-deadliest-israeli-raid-104133470.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least 13 people have been killed in an Israeli raid on a village in southern Syria overnight, state media reported, in<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/thirteen-killed-in-deadliest-israeli-raid-for-months-in-southern-syria\/28\/11\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/bbc_us_articles_995\/9467190e99c1b7bda6c873d6b147ddf3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54564"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
