Damascus, Syria - October 02, 2024

Three people were killed and three others injured on Wednesday as an Israeli airstrike hit a three-story building in the Mazzeh Western Villas neighborhood of Damascus, the capital of Syria.

On Tuesday morning, an Israeli attack near the neighborhood killed three civilians and injured nine others.

Back in January, a previous Israeli strike on the neighborhood killed 13 people, including five Iranians.

The neighborhood, which houses several diplomatic missions and high-profile residences, has been targeted by Israel in the past strikes as it is believed to host the commanders of Iranian and Palestinian factions.

The Israeli Defense Forces have not commented on the latest attack so far.
