An Israeli airstrike early Tuesday has resulted in the deaths of three civilians and left nine others injured, according to Syrian state media citing a military source. The strike targeted the Syrian capital, Damascus, causing significant damage to private property.

State television reported the death of one of its presenters in the attack; however, it remains unclear if this individual is among the three civilians confirmed deceased by state media.

Furthermore, Syrian air defenses successfully intercepted “hostile targets” over Damascus three times during the night, following a series of explosions that reverberated through the capital.

When approached for comments regarding the strike, the Israeli military declined to address the situation, maintaining its policy of not commenting on foreign media reports.

Israel has been conducting strikes on Iran-linked targets in Syria for several years, a campaign that has intensified since the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli territory last year.
