Syria says an Israeli strike has hit a Damascus residential area

Syrian state TV says an Israeli strike has hit a residential area in the Syrian capital Damascus. State TV reported several missiles hit the western neighborhood of Kfar Sousseh on Wednesday morning and didn't elaborate further. The pro-government Sham FM radio station said the strike hit a building near an Iranian school and caused casualties. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of war-torn Syria in recent years. Israel rarely acknowledges its actions in Syria, but it has said that it targets bases of Iran-allied militant groups, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.
