Diplomats from Syria and Israel held U.S.-brokered talks in Jordan on Sunday aimed at easing tensions following repeated Israeli attacks, including airstrikes on a major Syrian Air Force air base. They were the first talks between the two countries in several months, coming after Israel on Saturday struck a civilian vehicle on the outskirts of Damascus. Israel said it had targeted a “terrorist” in the deadly drone strike, which left several bystanders wounded. This comes as Israel continues to occupy Syria’s Golan Heights, which it seized in the 1967 war, as well as more territory in southwest Syria it ​seized after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
