Four military personnel were wounded in an Israeli air "aggression" targeting Syria's central region, the Syrian state media reported on Thursday.

The Israeli air attack, which was from the direction of northern Lebanon, also caused "some material damage," it added.

When asked about the reported attack, the Israeli military said it does not comment on foreign media reports.

Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years but has ramped up such raids since the Oct. 7 attack by armed group Hamas on Israeli territory.

Türkiye’s military has "neutralized" 12 militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Iraq, the Defense Ministry said on Friday.

Türkiye, which typically uses the term "neutralized" to mean killed, has been carrying out a cross-border operation called Claw-Lock in Iraq as part of the country's offensive against PKK militants.

The PKK, which has been waging an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984, is designated a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States and the European Union. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
