According to SANA, the Israeli drone struck a vehicle transporting the Syrian officer ‘Imad Tawil as he was traveling south of Hader in the Al-Quneitra countryside.

No further details were released after the attack.

Some reports have suggested that Tawil was in close contact with Hezbollah; however, these are unverified claims.

The town of Hader is home to one of the most powerful militias in the pro-government National Defense Forces (NDF); they have maintained close relations with Hezbollah, as they cultivated their ties during the war.
