Damascus: Two Lebanese nationals, including Hassan Jafar Qasir, the son-in-law of slain Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Damascus’ Mazzeh Western Villas area. The house was reportedly frequented by Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders, indicating a potential targeting of these groups by the Israeli forces, a war monitor stated.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the Israeli strike on Wednesday hit the first floor of a three-story building frequented by Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders, killing three people, including two non-Syrians, and injuring at least four others whose identities are unknown.
The Syrian Defence Ministry, for its part, reported that the strike killed three people and injured three more. According to the government, the attack was fired from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Xinhua news agency said.
On September 27, a devastating bombing in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, killed Nasrallah.
Nasrallah was killed on September 27 during a deadly bomb attack in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
Wednesday’s bombing marked the second Israeli airstrike in the area this week. On Tuesday morning, Israel hit a location about 500 meters from Wednesday’s assault, killing three persons, including a journalist, and wounding nine others.
