Syrian state TV says journalist killed in Israeli strikes on Damascus
Syrian state television says one of its anchors was killed in an Israeli strike on Damascus after midnight on Tuesday, with state-run media reporting three rounds of strikes in the capital area in one night.
State television says in a statement that it “mourns anchor Safaa Ahmad who was martyred in the Israeli aggression on the capital Damascus.”
The official SANA news agency earlier said that “air defense systems are intercepting hostile targets for the third time tonight in the Damascus area,” using a phrase that usually refers to Israeli strikes.
