Syria Says 2 Civilians Killed in Israeli Missile Attacks on Damascus 

HeadlineApr 04, 2023

Syrian state media reports two civilians were killed overnight as Israeli missile strikes hit the capital Damascus. Video of the attack appears to show a defense system hitting several targets in the sky, with audible explosions. It was reportedly the fourth attack by Israel on Damascus in recent days and followed the deaths of two Iran-affiliated fighters in an airstrike on Sunday. In Tehran, thousands of people gathered at a funeral for the two men earlier today. This is Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Hossein Salami: “I will say one thing: We will definitely take revenge.”
