According to the British-based Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR), the death toll is however six.

Earlier in the day, a man was also killed in an attack on a residence in the previously Syria-controlled parts of the Golan Heights, reports the state news agency Sana.

Syria has condemned the attacks and Israel's presence on the occupied Golan Heights, which it considers "a violation of international law and a direct threat to peace and security in the region".

Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani met a diplomatic delegation from Israel in Paris last week to, among other things, discuss "de-escalation". The USA acted as mediator in the conversation.

A large part of the Golan Heights was occupied by Israel in connection with the Six-Day War in 1967. Only the USA has recognized Israel's sovereignty in the area, a decision that was made in 2019, during Donald Trump's first term as President of the USA.
