Six Syrian regime soldiers were killed in an Israeli attack that targeted a site on the Syrian-Lebanese border in the Damascus countryside on Friday.

The regime's Ministry of Defense said, "At approximately 1:35 a.m. today, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting one of our military sites on the Syrian-Lebanese border, near Kfar Yabous in the Damascus countryside."

He confirmed that this "led to the martyrdom of 5 soldiers and the injury of another."

In turn, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed, "The killing of 6 members of the military intelligence and regime forces, within the framework of the Israeli war on the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon in the Damascus countryside and Al-Qusayr on the Syrian-Lebanese border."

More than 90 people were killed and more than 150 others were injured as a result of Israeli raids on the governorates of Nabatieh, the South, the Bekaa, Baalbek-Hermel and Mount Lebanon, according to a tally announced by the Lebanese Ministry of Health late Thursday evening.

This comes as the escalation between Israel and Hezbollah continues, extending to many areas on both sides, and amid talks on an American and French initiative for a 21-day ceasefire in order to engage in negotiations to reach a diplomatic settlement.

Growing numbers of families are fleeing Lebanon as Israel's war escalates and a ground invasion is threatened, spending hours in gridlocked traffic to reach the relative safety of another war-torn country.

Thousands of Lebanese and Syrian families have already made the journey, U.N. officials estimate. The numbers are expected to rise as Israel targets southern and eastern Lebanon in an airstrike that local officials say has killed more than 650 people this week, at least a quarter of them women and children. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah fighters and weapons.
