Daily Cuts - Israeli strikes on Syria kill at least 14 people

Multiple Israeli strikes on Syria’s Hama countryside late on Sept 8 killed at least four civilians, Syrian state media reported, with sources saying the attacks targeted a major military research centre. Separately, a gunman killed three Israelis at a sensitive border crossing between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to the Israeli military.
