Allies slam strike near Golan Heights
-
Syria slammed Israeli attacks as a "flagrant violation" of its sovereignty after a deadly bombardment in the country's south on Tuesday, where Israel's military said it had responded to incoming fire.
The violence near the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights followed Israeli air strikes in central Syria, the latest in a string of attacks on military sites since Islamic forces overthrew longtime president Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian foreign ministry, in a statement, condemned “the continued Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, which saw a dangerous escalation in the village of Kuwayya” in the southern Daraa province.
It said "heavy artillery and air bombardment targeted residential and farming areas, leading to the death of six civilians", raising an earlier toll provided by local authorities.
