Things are tense in the Middle East today after a new military strike in Syria.
Israel used a drone to hit a car inside Syria. Israel says the people in that car were terrorists. They claim those people were getting ready to attack Israeli soldiers right away. Because of this, Israel says they had to act to keep their troops safe.
Syria has a different view. The Syrian government is calling the attack a "flagrant violation" of its land and rights. This basically means they think Israel had no business being there and that it was a serious breach of their national borders.
Reports say several people were hurt in the blast.
This is just one part of the bigger tension currently happening between Israel, Iran, and their neighbors. Both sides are watching each other very closely as the situation continues to develop.
