The Israeli army confirmed it carried out a drone strike in Syria earlier on Wednesday, saying it killed a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) operative.
The army says that Fares Qasem was a prominent member of PIJ’s operations unit.
This marks a rare admission from the Israeli army regarding a strike in Syria.
