(MENAFN- IANS) Damascus, Sep 12 (IANS) Israeli drone and tank struck Syria's southern region of Quneitra on Thursday leaving two dead and one injured, both pro-government media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

An Israeli drone targeted a car on the Damascus-Quneitra highway at the entrance of the Khan Arnabeh area, killing one soldier and one civilian, reports Xinhua news agency, quoting the pro-government radio station Sham FM.

In a separate incident, Israeli tank shells hit fields in the village of Rafeed in southern Quneitra, injuring a farmer. The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, confirmed the drone strike in Khan Arnabeh, saying that the two individuals killed were riding in a car targeted by the Israeli forces.

Israel has frequently conducted air and drone strikes in Syria, primarily targeting what it describes as Iranian-linked military infrastructure and shipments of advanced weapons to Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group.
