(February 21, 2024 / JNS)
Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday targeted the Kafar Sousah neighborhood of Damascus, according to Syrian state media.
The strikes reportedly hit an apartment in a residential building.
At least two people were reportedly killed in the attack.
Earlier this month, the Israel Defense Forces revealed it had attacked more than 50 targets belonging to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed terrorist groups in Syria since Oct. 7.
Israel has allegedly struck hundreds of targets in Syria in recent years as part of an effort to prevent further Iranian military entrenchment in the country. However, Jerusalem rarely acknowledges these attacks.
In addition to thwarting Iranian arms shipments through Syria, Israeli forces have struck more than 3,400 Hezbollah targets throughout Southern Lebanon.
Iran has reportedly removed senior officers of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from Syria following a series of deadly aerial attacks attributed to Israel. Instead, the IRGC will manage its Syria operations remotely along with the assistance of Hezbollah, three sources said.
