Syria has reported that an Israeli strike outside Damascus has resulted in injuries to eight Syrian troops. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, causing damage to a military site in the area.

The Syrian government has condemned the attack, labeling it as a violation of its sovereignty. Israeli military officials have not yet commented on the strike.

According to Syrian state media, the strike targeted a military research facility in the countryside of Damascus. The attack has raised tensions in the region, with concerns of further escalation between the two countries.

This latest incident adds to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Syria, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. The Israeli military has conducted several strikes in Syria in recent years, targeting Iranian-backed militias and military installations.

The injured Syrian troops have been taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Their conditions are currently unknown.

International observers are closely monitoring the situation, urging both Israel and Syria to exercise restraint and avoid further hostilities that could destabilize the region.
