The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced the martyrdom of seven civilians and the injury of 20 others in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential building in the Damascus countryside.
The Syrian News Agency (SANA) explained on Sunday that initial information indicates that the Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Sayyida Zeinab area in the Damascus countryside, adding that the attack left seven martyrs and 20 others wounded.
Israel has been launching raids on Syria for years but have intensified such attacks since the start of its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, and particularly increased in recent weeks especially with the escalation of the war Israel has been waging on Lebanon since September 23.
