Car bombs and air strikes rocked Syria’s northern and southern borders over the weekend, causing casualties near a hospital and hitting a town a few miles from Israeli-occupied territory.
At least one person was killed and 11 more were injured on Sunday when a car bomb exploded near a field hospital in the town of Atmeh, a few miles from the Bab al-Hawa crossing on the Turkish-Syrian border. Earlier this month, a car bomb killed 13 people in Bab al-Hawa, which is under the control of the Islamic Front.

Meanwhile, to the country’s south, artillery and air strikes were reported on Monday on the town of Kerks, near the UN-controlled area of separation between the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and Syrian territory. The video below shows gray smoke raising over what appears to be a residential area of the town.
