Golan Heights Shot, Israel Attacks Syrian Military Post

JAKARTA - The Israeli military attacked a military post in southern Syria, Friday, July 12. This attack was in retaliation after the projectiles were fired from Syria into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Earlier, an Israeli attack hit a vehicle in Syrian territory on the Damascus-Beirut highway, killing one of the former bodyguards of the leader of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

According to security sources, Yasser Nimr Qarbash has recently been involved in transporting weapons to the group.

Reported by Reuters, Tuesday, July 9, Hezbollah issued a statement of condolences for Yasser's death without elaborating on his role in the organization. Two security sources said the former bodyguard had become Hezbollah's middle-level official involved in arms transport.

Hezbollah began shooting at Israeli targets on the border to support Palestinians after its ally Hamas launched an attack on October 7, 2023 against Israel that sparked a war in Gaza.
