On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike killed at least three people in the Mezzeh area of Damascus. The attack targeted an area known for hosting security buildings and diplomatic missions. This strike is the second in the region since Tuesday.
Syrian Military Source Confirms Casualties
According to a military source cited by the official Syrian news agency, SANA, “The Israeli enemy launched an airstrike targeting a residential building in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus.” The attack led to the deaths of three civilians and injured three others, while also causing material damage to nearby private properties.
Increased Targeting Near Syrian-Lebanese Border
The targeted building lies approximately half a kilometer away from where another airstrike on Tuesday morning hit two small passenger buses, killing six people, including three civilians and a journalist. Israel has recently escalated its attacks on areas near border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, through which tens of thousands of people have fled amid heavy Israeli bombings on Lebanon.
Conclusion
The recent surge in airstrikes highlights growing tensions in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict. The international community continues to call for restraint and the de-escalation of violence.
