The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in Damascus a short while ago, saying it struck the entrance to the Syrian military headquarters.

“The IDF continues to monitor developments and activity against Druze civilians in southern Syria and, in accordance with the directives of the political echelon, is attacking the area and is prepared for various scenarios,” the statement adds.

Syrian media reports that two civilians were injured in the Israeli strike on Damascus.
