1+ hour, 21+ min ago (726+ words) Thirteen people have been killed in an Israeli raid in southern Syria, Syrian state media says, with Damascus accusing Israel of a "criminal attack" in a village where Israel said its troops came under fire during an operation to arrest militants. The casualty tolls suggest the Israeli raid spiralled into one of the deadliest since President Bashar al-Assad was toppled a year ago. Israel frequently bombed Syria when it was ruled by Assad and stepped up its military operations in the country after he was ousted, citing goals that include keeping militants away from the frontier. The Israeli military said its troops had launched an operation to detain suspects belonging to Jama'a Islamiya - a Lebanese Sunni Islamist group which fired rockets at Israel from Lebanon during the Gaza war - accusing them of involvement in "terrorist plots". The military described the…...

The move must be carried out before the next routine flight, according to a separate bulletin to airlines seen by Reuters, threatening cancellations or delays during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year in the United States and beyond.
