BEIRUT: At least two people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Damascus countryside near the Lebanese border, stated a war monitor.
According to a war monitor, an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle belonging to Hezbollah.
Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported that the strike by an Israeli drone killed at least two people and left one person wounded on the Syrian side of the Lebanon border.
Meanwhile, a group of United Nations rights experts on Tuesday accused Israel of carrying out a “targeted starvation campaign” that has resulted in a large number of deaths of children in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the experts, including UN special rapporteur on the right to food Michael Fakhri, condemned Israel’s actions as a form of “genocidal violence” resulting in famine across Gaza. They asserted that since October 7, 34 Palestinians, primarily children, have died from malnutrition.
“We declare that Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza,” 10 independent United Nations experts said in a statement.
