Israeli airstrikes targeted Damascus, the Syrian capital, and a military facility near Homs, Syria, early Thursday, October 24, resulting in one soldier killed and seven severely injured. The strikes hit central Damascus's Kafr Sousa neighborhood and a military site in the Homs region, causing material damage, according to the Syrian ministry, although no further details were provided.

The airstrikes sparked explosions in Damascus, particularly in Kafr Sousa, where a residential building was hit. This neighborhood is known for its proximity to highly guarded Iranian installations. The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights reported that the strike targeted a warehouse used by Iranian and Hezbollah fighters.

Pointers:

This incident is part of the ongoing tensions in the region, with multiple international airstrikes carried out in Syria since the outbreak of the civil war in 2011.

Israel typically refrains from commenting on specific strike reports in Syria. However, it's well-known that Israel has consistently targeted Iranian-linked sites within Syria.

The frequency and intensity of these operations have increased significantly since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
