Israel raids a Syrian village and detains suspected militants; 1 person is killed
BEIT JIN, Syria — Israel's army raided a village in southern Syria early Thursday to arrest several alleged agents of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Syrian officials said one person was killed and warned that such incursions stoke regional tensions, while villagers denied having any ties to Hamas.

They were taken back to Israel for questioning, the military said.
