By Israel conducted an airstrike on a residential building in the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus, Syria, reportedly targeting a site frequented by senior Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah operatives. According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the attack resulted in the deaths of four individuals, with additional reports indicating that the strike also hit a parked car near the building.
Syria’s official news agency, SANA, confirmed the Israeli strike, which occurred in a neighborhood known for housing security headquarters and various embassies. The attack was part of a broader pattern of Israeli military actions aimed at disrupting the operations of Iranian and Hezbollah forces in the region.
AFPTV footage from the scene revealed the extent of the destruction, showing a building engulfed in thick smoke, surrounded by rubble and twisted metal. The aftermath of the strike left the area in disarray, with an AFP correspondent reporting that around 20 vehicles were damaged by debris falling from the targeted building.
This incident underscores the ongoing tensions in the region, where military actions and airstrikes have become increasingly frequent as various factions vie for power and influence amidst a backdrop of civil unrest and conflict. The Israeli government has not provided an official comment on the strike, but it has maintained a stance of targeting threats it perceives from Iranian and Hezbollah forces operating within Syria.
