Israel Targets Hezbollah Official in Syrian Airstrike

Israel launched airstrikes on a residential building in Damascus, Syria, targeting a Hezbollah official involved in arms smuggling, according to Israeli officials. The building was located near the Iranian Embassy in the heavily guarded Mezzeh district.

Syria’s Defense Ministry reported seven casualties, including children, and 11 injuries. It remains unclear if the targeted Hezbollah official was among the victims. The Iranian Embassy confirmed no Iranian citizens were affected. The strike may be linked to Israel's retaliation against recent Iranian missile attacks.
