Tragic Outcomes: Israeli Airstrikes Claim Lives of Syrian Children

Three Syrian children were killed in an Israeli strike on the village of Umm al-Tut in southern Lebanon. Earlier, two more Syrians were reported killed in a separate Israeli strike. These incidents are part of ongoing Israeli airstrikes following Hamas' attack on southern Israel.

Three Syrian children lost their lives on Tuesday following an Israeli strike on the village of Umm al-Tut in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA.

Earlier the same day, NNA reported another Israeli strike that resulted in the deaths of two Syrians who were crossing the Kfar Tebnit-Khardali road on a bicycle, bringing the total fatalities to five Syrians in a single day. Reuters has requested a comment from Israel on these incidents.

Since Hamas' attack on southern Israeli border communities on October 7 and the subsequent military offensive in Gaza, Israel has been conducting near-daily airstrikes in Syria and Lebanon. Other Iran-aligned groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah and Shi'ite militias in Syria and Iraq, have also been targeting Israel, creating what they call a 'support front' to divert Israeli forces from Gaza.
