DAMASCUS, (PIC)
Israeli forces attacked the upscale Mazzeh district of Damascus, the second such strike in two days to hit the neighborhood home to embassies and UN offices, Syrian state-run media said.
“Israeli aggression targets Mazzeh area in Damascus,” the official SANA news agency said Friday, after reporting a deadly Israeli strike on the district a day earlier.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the strikes targeted a “military housing complex” in Mazzeh.
“Fire trucks and ambulances headed to the targeted site amid reports of casualties, with security services and regime forces completely cordoning off the targeted site,” the Observatory said.
Israeli strikes on Thursday in and around Damascus killed 15 people and injured 16 others.
