Syrian state media reported on Wednesday that Israel conducted an air strike on a residential building in the Mezzah suburb of the capital Damascus.

The attack reportedly killed at least three civilians and injured several others.

A Syrian military official said in a statement, “At approximately 5:25 p.m., Israel launched an attack on a residential building in the Mezzah neighborhood in Damascus - which led to the death of three civilians, the wounding of three more and substantial damage to property.”

The Saudi Al-Hadath channel reported that the strike targeted an apartment in which there were members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Arabic-language media reported that among those killed in the strike was Hassan Jaafar Kasir, the son-in-law of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the commander of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for smuggling arms from Iran.

Israel has not commented on the reports.
