The target of the alleged Israeli airstrike in Damascus this evening was a top Hezbollah official in the terror group’s Unit 4400, the Saudi news outlet Al-Hadath reports.
Unit 4400 is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran and its proxies to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The strike was carried out against an apartment building in the Mezzeh district of the capital Damascus, a few hundred meters from the Iranian embassy.
Multiple reports have said the targeted building is linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
