Syrian state media says Israeli fire has killed a man in Qunietra province in the country’s south near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, while the foreign ministry has decried the death of a civilian, AFP reports.

State news agency SANA said that the man was killed in an attack by “an Israeli tank”, while state television said a car was targeted.

Syria’s foreign ministry in a statement condemned “in the strongest terms the crime committed by Israeli occupation forces in targeting a civilian car with a tank shell”.

It said the attack “led to the death of a civilian”, calling it “a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law” and urging the international community to help “stop these repeated violations”.
