At least 4 people were killed in an “Israeli” raid on the Mezzeh and Qadsaya areas in Damascus, as reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

While the Syrian official media reported that there had been an “Israeli bombing” that had affected the areas of Mezzeh and Qudsaya.

The Observatory said, “There were 4 dead in the Israeli raid on Mezzeh,” and about another raid that targeted the Qudsaya area.

While the official Syrian news agency, SANA, said, “The Israeli aggression targeted, according to preliminary information, two residential buildings in the Mezzeh and Qudsaya areas,” resulting in “the killing and wounding of a number of citizens.”

Last week, the official Syrian agency reported that explosions occurred on the night of Friday and Saturday in the vicinity of the city of Al-Safira in the Aleppo and Idlib countryside.

The agency said on its account on the “X” microblogging site, “Explosions were heard in the vicinity of the city of Al-Safira in the Aleppo countryside, and their nature is being verified.” 

Later, the agency referred to “preliminary information about Israeli aggression,” according to what was reported by Agence France-Presse.

SANA quoted a military source as saying, “At approximately 00:45 after midnight, the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of southeastern Aleppo, targeting a number of sites in the Aleppo and Idlib countryside, which led to the injury of a number of soldiers and the occurrence of some material losses.” ".

In recent weeks, Israel launched air strikes inside Syria, and also targeted the border crossing linking it with Lebanon.

Israel rarely confirms the implementation of strikes, but repeatedly says that it will confront what it describes as Iran's attempts to establish its military presence in Syria.

Since 2011, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes on Syria, targeting army positions and targets it says are Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah.
