IDF body-cam shows Syria raid; six wounded
Israel’s military released body-camera footage Friday of a rare cross-border raid in the Beit Jann area of southern Syria, where the IDF’s 55th Brigade came under fire while arresting suspected al‑Jama’a al‑Islamiyya operatives linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. The IDF says two suspects were detained and several militants were killed; six soldiers were wounded (three seriously), as the clash unfolded the same week the White House moved to designate Brotherhood affiliates and after Syria’s interim president met President Trump in Washington.
