Israeli Airstrike in Damascus: Civilian Casualties Reported

Three civilians were killed and three wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Damascus, Syria. The attack targeted a residential building in the Mezzah suburb. Israel has increased such strikes against Iran-linked targets following an attack by Hamas on Israeli territory last year.

Three civilians were killed and three others wounded during an Israeli airstrike on Syria's capital, Damascus, on Wednesday, according to a military source quoted by the Syrian state news agency SANA.

The airstrike reportedly targeted a residential building in the Mezzah suburb in western Damascus. Israel has a long history of conducting strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria and has notably escalated these operations since an October 7, 2022, attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israeli soil.
