Israeli drone strike along Lebanon-Syria border kills Syrian businessman close to the government

A Syrian businessman, close to the Assad government, was killed by an Israeli drone strike near the Lebanon-Syria border.
The businessman, Katerji, was targeted potentially for funding Syrian resistance against Israel in the Golan Heights and his ties to Iran-backed groups.
The U.S. Treasury Department had previously sanctioned Katerji in 2018 for acting as a middleman for Assad to trade oil with ISIS and facilitate weapon shipments from Iraq to Syria.
