It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.<\/p>\n<p>Syria did not immediately confirm the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria multiple times over the past year, targeting members of Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah and officials from Iran, the close ally of both Hezbollah and Syria. But it has not previously made public any ground forays into Syria. <\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said the seizure was part of a special operation \u201cthat took place in recent months,\u201d though it did not say exactly when it occurred. <\/p>\n<p>The disclosure of the raid comes as Israel has waged an escalated campaign of bombardment in Lebanon for the past six weeks, as well as a ground invasion along the countries\u2019 shared border, vowing to cripple Hezbollah, On Saturday, an Israeli military official said naval forces carried out a raid in a northern Lebanese town, seizing a man they called a senior Hezbollah operative. <\/p>\n<p>The army in its statement Sunday did not specify where in Syria the raid took place or when. It identified the man it seized as Ali Soleiman al-Assi, saying he lives in the southern Syrian region of Saida. It said the man had been under military surveillance for many months and was involved in Iranian initiatives targeting areas of the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights near the border with Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Body camera footage of the raid released by the army showed soldiers seizing a man in a white tank top inside a building. The man was brought to Israel for interrogation, the military said.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the border with Lebanon on Sunday, saying his focus was trying to keep Hezbollah from rearming itself through the \u201coxygen lifeline\u201d of Iranian weapons transferred to Lebanon via Syria. Israel says its campaign in Lebanon aims to push Hezbollah away from the border and put an end to more than a year of fire by the group into northern Israel. <\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s strikes in Lebanon have killed more than 2,500 people over the past year. In Israel, 69 people have been killed by Hezbollah projectiles.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued their campaign in Gaza. In the southern part of the territory, an Israeli strike hit a group of people gathered outside in an eastern district of Khan Younis, killing at least eight Palestinians, including four children and a woman, the Gaza Health Ministry\u2019s emergency services said. The city\u2019s Nasser Hospital, which received most of the bodies, confirmed the figures. <\/p>\n<p>Palestinian officials said an Israeli drone strike on Saturday hit a clinic in northern Gaza where children <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-hamas-gaza-polio-who-vaccinations-3acaa0dcf9744810c51032f45e609a2f\">were being vaccinated for polio<\/a><\/span>, wounding six people including four children. The Israeli military denied responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Munir al-Boursh, director general of the Gaza Health Ministry, told The Associated Press that a quadcopter struck the Sheikh Radwan clinic in Gaza City early Saturday afternoon, just a few minutes after a United Nations delegation left the facility.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization and the U.N. children\u2019s agency, known as UNICEF, which are jointly carrying out the polio vaccination campaign, expressed concern over the reported strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reports of this attack are even more disturbing as the Sheikh Radwan Clinic is one of the health points where parents can get their children vaccinated,\u201d said Rosalia Bollen, a spokesperson for UNICEF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s attack occurred while the humanitarian pause was still in effect, despite assurances given that the pause would be respected from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman, said that \u201ccontrary to the claims, an initial review determined that the (Israeli military) did not strike in the area at the specified time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was not possible to resolve the conflicting accounts.

It had been postponed from Oct. 23 due to lack of access, Israeli bombings and mass evacuation orders, and the lack of assurances for humanitarian pauses, a U.N. statement said.<\/p>\n<p>The administration of the first dose was carried out in September across the Gaza Strip, including areas of northern Gaza that are now completely sealed off. Health officials said the campaign\u2019s first round, and the administration of the second dose across central and southern Gaza, were successful.<\/p>\n<p>At least 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate from areas of north Gaza toward Gaza City in the past few weeks, but around 15,000 children under the age of 10 remain in northern towns, including Jabaliya, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, which are inaccessible, according to the U.N.<\/p>\n<p>The final phase of the polio vaccination campaign had aimed to reach an estimated 119,000 children in the north with a second dose of the oral polio vaccine, the agencies said, but \u201cachieving this target is now unlikely due to access constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They say 90% of children in every community must be vaccinated to prevent the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign was launched after <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/polio-vaccine-gaza-baby-225d4997a8dec1b2ce7d91711ee3d47d\">the first polio case<\/a><\/span> was reported in Gaza in 25 years \u2014 <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gaza-baby-polio-hamas-war-israel-who-59a09fbb2257dd9fcfaac0878dc3fe58\">a 10-month-old boy, now paralyzed in the leg.<\/a><\/span> The World Health Organization said the presence of a paralysis case indicates there could be hundreds more who have been infected but aren\u2019t showing symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The war began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250.
