******* strikes residential building near Damascus, Syrian state news agency says

(Reuters) – An ******** strike targeted a residential building in the Sayeda Zainab district south of the Syrian capital Damascus on Sunday, the Syrian state news agency said.

The ******* resulted in a “number of deaths and injuries”, the state news agency added, without providing a detailed breakdown.

There was no immediate comment from *******, which said last week that its air force had struck intelligence assets of the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah in the same area.

Sayeda Zainab, a stronghold of armed group Hezbollah and the site of a major Shi’ite shrine, has been the target in previous strikes.

******* has ramped up strikes in Syria since the Oct. 7 ******* by militant group ****** on ******* in 2023 and particularly since the escalation of the *******-Hezbollah conflict.

Syrian and Western intelligence sources say ******** attacks in Syria have ******* scores of Hezbollah and pro-Iranian militia fighters based around the eastern outskirts of Damascus and to the south of the city.
