Syria says Israeli tank fire kills man in country's south

Syrian state media said Israeli fire killed a man in Qunietra province in the country's south near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as the foreign ministry decried the death of a civilian.

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".  

Syria strongly condemned the crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces, which targeted a civilian vehicle with a tank shell in the village of al-Zaaroura in the Quneitra countryside, resulting in the death of a civilian.#Syria#Quneitra pic.twitter.com/6or6u1xJTP
