01:21Three people were killed and three others injured in a suspected Israeli airstrike, which hit a residential building in the Mezzeh neighbourhood of Damascus on Wednesday, the second attack on the Syrian capital in two days.
Footage shows emergency services crews at the scene in the aftermath of the shelling, clearing away rubble from partially destroyed buildings.
According to state-run Syrian news agency SANA, the strike occurred at 17:25. “The Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting a residential building in the Mezzeh neighbourhood in Damascus,” the broadcaster reported.
The source added that the shelling killed three civilians, injured three others, and caused material damage to private property in the surrounding area.
It comes after Israel launched a rocket attack on the Mezzeh neighbourhood on Tuesday morning, killing three, including Syrian-state television anchor Safaa Ahmad, and wounding nine others.
The Israeli military rarely claims responsibility for strikes in Syria. However, the IDF reported last Friday that it had killed a Hamas official in the south of the country, claiming he was responsible for firing rockets towards the Golan Heights.
