A Syrian soldier was killed and three others were injured as a result of Israeli strikes in the Damascus countryside Tuesday, according to Syrian state news agency SANA.

SANA`s source said the “Israeli enemy” carried out an attack from Northern Galilee and targeted an air defense unit in the Nabi Habeel area, said SANA.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli military declined to comment on the SANA report.

On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 3 soldiers were wounded as gunmen targeted their tankers in the southeastern Idlib region to stop the escalation.

The deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria, Vyacheslav Sitnik, said, during a press briefing, that an armored personnel carrier of the forces was exposed to an anti-tank missile. The missile was launched from an area under the control of “pro-Turkish gangs,” resulting in light injury of three soldiers.
