Syria says seven civilians ******* in ******** strike

An ******** strike on a residential building in the Sayeda Zainab district south of the Syrian capital Damascus has ******* seven civilians, the Syrian defence ministry says, in the second such ******* in less than a week.

The fatalities included women and children, with 20 people also injured, the ministry said in a statement.

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

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

The heavily garrisoned area near the shrine is also a well known stronghold of Hezbollah, which is one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s chief allies.

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

Syrian and foreign 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.
