Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, citing a military source, claims that seven civilians were killed and 11 others were wounded in tonight’s alleged Israeli airstrike on Damascus.
SANA says Israeli warplanes launched three missiles from over the Golan Heights, targeting a residential and commercial building in the Mezzeh district of the capital.
In addition to the casualties, the strike caused “significant material damage,” it says.
It adds that rescue forces are still working to extract people from under the rubble.
The Saudi news outlet Al-Hadath reported earlier that the target was a top Hezbollah official in the terror group’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran and its proxies to Lebanon.
