Israeli Airstrike Hits Damascus Residential Building, 7 Civilians Dead, 11 Injured

An Israeli airstrike struck a residential building in Damascus, Syria, on Tuesday, killing seven civilians and injuring 11 others, Syrian state media has reported. The attack is part of a series of Israeli air raids aimed at Iran-linked targets in Syria, which have increased in frequency following the October 7 attack by Palestinian group Hamas on Israeli soil, an event that sparked the ongoing Gaza war. This latest strike reflects the escalating tensions across the region as Israel continues to target Iranian interests in Syria.
