Six reported killed in alleged Israeli strike near Damascus

Six people were killed and 15 others were wounded in the alleged Israeli airstrike on the Sayyidah Zaynab suburb of Damascus, medical officials at a local hospital tell the Syrian Sham FM radio.

The strike targeted a residential building, according to Sham FM. The official SANA news agency, which initially reported that there had been Israeli strikes, now says only that explosions near Damascus are being investigated.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims the attack targeted two locations “where Hezbollah members live” near the Sayyidah Zeinab municipality. The opposition group, often accused on inflating Syrian losses, puts the death toll at three.

There is no comment from Israel.
