On February 19, five people were killed and at least 15 others were wounded when Israeli strikes hit a building in the highly-secured Kafar Sousah neighborhood in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Citing a military source, the Syrian Arab News Agency said that Israel also attacked several bases around Damascus. One of the bases was reportedly a radar site near the village of Tall al-Masyah in the northeastern countryside of the neighboring al-Suwayda governorate.
“It caused damage to several civilian homes and material damage to a number of neighborhoods in Damascus and its vicinity,” the military source said in a statement.
The heaviest damage was at the Kafar Sousah building, which is reportedly located near Iranian installations, including a key cultural center. The state-run agency said that four of the fatalities were civilians.
Immediately after the strikes, several reports in the Hebrew and Arab media said that the target was senior officials from the Quds Force, the foreign operations wing of Iran’s, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This is yet to be confirmed, however.
The deadly strikes came just a few days after BBC Perisan reported an Iranian drone attack on an Israeli-owned oil tanker in the Arabian Sea.
In a letter to the United Nations and Security Council chiefs, the Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli attack which took place as Syria is struggling to overcome the destruction caused by the February 6 earthquake.
“The aggression comes in the context of the systematic Israeli attacks against the Syrian civilian targets, including homes, service centers, airports, and ports, intimidating the Syrians who are still suffering from the catastrophic effects left by the earthquake and working to support those affected by it,” the letter reads.
This was the largest confirmed attack by Israel to target Syria this year. However, it was not the deadliest. On January 2, at least six Syrian service members were reportedly killed when a series of Israeli strikes targeted Damascus International Airport.
Israel has been carrying out air strikes against suspected Iranian-sponsored weapons transfers and personnel deployments in Syria for around a decade as a part of a covert military campaign known as “the war between the wars.” Israeli officials have rarely acknowledged responsibility.

there is nothing more evil today in Syria than the tyrant that ensures misery for all Believers.
In fact if poo tin keeps destroying and bathing in Childrens blood, then all russians will be held responsible, and all their supporters will be criminalized as filthy liar jews.
Are you a Zionist disinformation agent? Why do you think Assad is Mossad, specifically? What do you think of the mass murder earthquakes in Turkey and Syria done by the U.S.-Israel Zionist Cabal?
The people of Idlib say that Julani is a tyrant.
You’re a Jackass just like the Zionist BIBI. You know NADA about Syria. If Russia decided to intervene in 2015, Putin knew Al Assad wasn’t a dictator. The Syrians know the Zionists and the Yankees are the criminals. Al Assad has nothing to do with Mossad.
Assad is with KGB not Mossad
Not the brightest spark obviously.
Rothschilds probably support SDF.
Assyrians and Persians are not on this. Assad and Hezbollah are only. Jeremiah said that Damascus will be a heap of ruins. However, Lebanon will remain and Hezbollah are the descendants of Sidonians.
What are you? Really?
Im pearl harbor Kamikaze
Hezbollah and Syria are playing the long game. The reason why you wahabi dogs lost control of Syria and Iraq is because you guys don’t know what patience is. Hezbollah has the Levant on lockdown with their intelligence and capabilities, israel is conducting airstrikes to mask their insecurities. When you have control of the game, you don’t need to attack recklessly
satanyahu is feeble
khamenei is feeble
Personally, I happen to like both to an extent.
Israelis should chill there. I believe Israelis should not attack Lebanon and Syria, only terrorists in Gaza.
Gaza is no terrorist Jews and Israel is much worse i dont support Hamas or Gaza
There are more radical groups than Hamas there
They got kicked from 109 countries, they are dislike worldwide, they fund and support terrorists worldwide, they steal about everything, they kill civilians, they leech on to others, their are our good old Zion. Now they even lie to cover up why they got killed during WWII. Remember anyone who support these satanic people join them in hell with them.
They were Iranian Mollahs having meeting mossad did the good job.
Myslím, že ba mali trochu ráznejšie pristupovať k tomu čo pácha Izrael. BR OSN si zase nerobí svoju prácu tak ako by mala. Odsúdenie útokov je asi veľmi málo, keď vidíme, že sa opakujú.
I pray for the destruction of the poisonous khaZar entity in Palestine. This ZionaZi boil on the anUS of humanity must be lanced. Of course it is only a question of time but the sooner the better. Z

I wonder why Syrian cannot shot down those intruders? And why they need to do that raids, while Damascus is already in the fire range from the artillery in Golam.
