Alleged Israeli strike in Damascus kills five people, injures 15

An alleged Israeli missile strike hit a building in the Kafr Sousa neighborhood of central Damascus early on Sunday, near a large security complex near Iranian military installations, witnesses and an official source told Reuters.

Five people were killed, including a Syrian soldier, and 15 were wounded in the alleged attack, which a Syrian military source said came from the direction of the Golan Heights, Syrian state media outlet Sana claimed.

The strike also caused the "destruction of a number of civilian homes, and material damage to a number of neighborhoods in and around Damascus," the military source added.
