The official Syrian news agency SANA reported that Israeli air forces attacked Damascus. Communications indicate that fighter jets and drones were used in the attack, coming from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights.

The targets were key facilities in the capital of Syria. The Israeli attack was described as an "aggression" that led to significant civilian casualties.

It has been officially confirmed that three lives were lost. Among them was Safa Ahmad, a Syrian television presenter whom local media referred to as a "martyr."

The editorial team she worked with is mourning the loss of their colleague. Nine people were injured, and according to reports, the situation in the city remains tense.

Israel has not officially responded to these reports

Syrian state television and other local media have not yet provided more details regarding the victims or the damage caused by the attack. This attack is another in a series of tensions between Israel and Syria, where Israeli targets often include military facilities and infrastructure related to Iran, an ally of Syria.

Israel has not officially responded to these reports yet, although past Israeli attacks have aimed to weaken Iran's military presence in the region. The air raid on Damascus has sparked another wave of tensions in the ongoing conflict.
