Israeli military spokesman Avichey Adley said the troops were fired by gunmen who attacked them before launching the drone attack.
At least six people have been killed in Israeli strikes in southwestern Syria, as Israeli forces occupy the area that clashed with Syrian residents.
“We also call on the Syrians to retain their land and reject the imposition of new reality by attempts to evacuate and forces, and emphasize that these attacks will not prevent Syrians from defending their rights and their lands,” Israel said, “a surprising violation of the sovereignty of the state and international law.”
The department said the report said that all six people killed were civilians and several were injured.
Israeli military spokesman Avichey Adley said the troops were fired by gunmen who attacked them before launching the drone attack.
The Syrian Human Rights Observatory, a UK-based WAR monitor, has brought death toll to 7.
Residents of the station and town said clashes erupted between Israeli forces and residents after Israeli forces tried to enter the village and faced armed civilians.
Village residents fled the artillery and evacuated to nearby villages and olive groves.
Israel said it would halt the threat to Israel after rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad and seized power in December, seized control of unpatrol buffer zones in Syria, and Israeli officials would halt the threat to Israel.
Israeli officials also say they will not allow new Syrian forces to operate south of the capital Damascus, claiming they aim to protect the Druze, a minority that exists in both Syria and Israel.
New Syrian authorities and UN officials say Israel is violating a 1974 agreement that called for it to establish a buffer zone along the border and withdraw it.
Coastal collision
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Investigation Committee, tasked with investigating clashes and revenge attacks in Syrian coastal areas that killed hundreds of civilians, said he had received dozens of written and recorded civilian and military statements after hearing about the testimony of nearly 100 people.
“There are areas where dangerous events have occurred, and some witnesses and residents are afraid to communicate with the committee,” Yasser al-Fahan said at a press conference.
So far, he declined to elaborate on the committee’s findings.
The clash exploded after Pro-Alsado’s loyalists attacked security patrols in coastal cities in Latakia, leading to the murder of revenge, which broadly targeted Al-Assad’s minority Alawite community.
Two days of violence was a major setback in Damascus’ efforts to persuade Europe and the United States to lift sanctions after more than a decade of conflict.
The state-run SANA news agency also said two internet cables were cut in sabotage, cutting online access in the country for about 12 hours.
