Three people were killed Wednesday afternoon in an airstrike targeting a building in the Al-Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus, reportedly frequented by Hezbollah commanders and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. According to Sky News Arabia, one of the fatalities was former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law Hassan Jaafar Qasir.
According to local reports, two of the victims were non-Syrian. At least four others were wounded in the strike, which hit a three-story building. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based opposition group, reported seven casualties in the attack.
The Syrian Defense Ministry confirmed the airstrike occurred at 5:25 p.m., stating that Israel targeted a residential building, killing three civilians and injuring three others, while causing significant damage.
Syrian outlet Voice of the Capital reported that the building targeted in the strike was located near a site previously attacked in January, where senior Hezbollah commander Youssef Omayed Dar, also known as "Haj Sadiq," and two of his aides were killed. Sources suggested Wednesday's strike was an assassination, though the target remains unknown.
