Israel conducts deadly raid in Syria
Israeli soldiers went to a village in Syria called Beit Jinn to catch some bad guys from a group called Jama’a Islamiya.
They had information that this group was planning to hurt people in Israel.
During the operation, there was a big fight, and many people were killed, including women and children.
Some Israeli soldiers got hurt too.
Syria says the raid was bad and killed innocent people, but Israel says they were trying to stop a bigger threat.
Israel has been doing similar operations in Syria to keep their people safe, especially a group called the Druze who live near the border.
Israeli troops conducted a raid in the Syrian village of Beit Jinn to arrest members of Jama’a Islamiya suspected of planning attacks on Israel.
The operation resulted in the deaths of 13 people, including women and children, according to Syrian state media.
Six Israeli soldiers were wounded, three of them seriously, during the clash.
Israel defended the operation as necessary to prevent attacks on Israeli civilians and protect the Druze community.
Syrian authorities condemned the raid as an aggression that caused civilian casualties and displacement.
