Three killed in Israeli strike on Damascus, Syrian state media says

Three civilians were killed and three wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Syria's capital Damascus on Wednesday, the Syrian state news agency SANA quoted a military source as saying.

The Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in the Mezzah suburb in western Damascus, the source said.

Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years, but has ramped up such raids since last year's Oct. 7 attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israeli territory.
