At least 14 people died and over 40 others were injured following alleged Israeli airstrikes in central Syria on Sunday, media reports said.
“The number of martyrs from the Israeli aggression on several sites in Masyaf area has reached to 14 martyrs and 43 wounded, six of whom are in critical condition," Director of Masyaf National Hospital, Dr. Fayssal Haidar, said in a statement to Syrian news agency SANA.
According to reports, the airstrikes caused material damage to Masyaf-Wadi al-Uyun highway.
Meanwhile, three Israeli civilians were shot dead during a shooting incident at the Allenby Crossing on the border between the occupied West Bank and Jordan, Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday.
The Israel Airports Authority, which runs the border terminal at the Allenby Crossing with Jordan, told CNN that the three men who died worked at the crossing.
Giving details about the attack, IDF posted on X: "Earlier today, a terrorist approached the area of the Allenby Bridge from Jordan in a truck, exited the truck, and opened fire at the Israeli security forces operating at the bridge."
IDF claimed the attacker was 'eliminated' by security forces.
"IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene and are currently operating to rule out the suspicion of the truck being rigged with explosives, further details to follow," the security force said.
The identity of the attacker is still not known.
