Israeli Airstrikes Result in Casualties in Damascus

The Israeli army has conducted a series of airstrikes in central Damascus, leading to the death of one individual, according to media sources affiliated with the Syrian regime. The strikes targeted a building in the Kafr Sousa area of the Syrian capital, with Syrian state television attributing the explosions to "Israeli aggression." Reports indicate that an explosion was heard early Thursday morning, although further details remain scarce.

In recent weeks, Israeli forces have focused their operations on leaders of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, with the latest airstrikes occurring shortly after Israel announced the death of the head of Hezbollah's money transfer unit in a previous raid. The Syrian Ministry of Defense confirmed that two individuals were killed and three others injured in a separate attack targeting a vehicle in the Mazzeh neighborhood. Israel's military actions in Syria have escalated since the onset of its conflict with Hamas on October 7, 2023, with numerous strikes reported across the region, including central Syria and coastal cities.
