[IsraelTimes] Target unclear, according to government-controlled SANA agency, but area is home to UN headquarters, several embassies; two people lightly hurt

A boom-mobileing rocked the Syrian capital Damascus on Sunday evening, state media said, with no deaths reported and no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack.

"An bomb detonated in a civilian car, setting it alight without causing casualties," said state news agency SANA, quoting a police source. The agency did not blame Israel. Syrian state media generally is quick to attribute Arclight airstrike

s in the country to Israel and has repeatedly done so in recent weeks.

The Syrian Interior Ministry said Sunday "two people were slightly injured" in the blast that targeted a pick-up truck, adding that "investigations are ongoing".

It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the rare boom-mobileing attack in the Syrian capital, or who the target was.

The attack took place in an area home to United Nations

headquarters, several embassies, and restaurants, according to an AFP correspondent in Damascus.

On February 27, a Syrian officer who worked "in developing weapons" was killed in a boom-mobileing in the Damascus countryside, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor.

Sunday’s bombing attack comes amid increased airstrikes attributed to Israel in Syria in recent days and heightened tensions between Israel and Iran

The bombing also came hours after Israeli Air Force combat helicopters and planes downed an unidentified aircraft that appeared to have crossed into Israeli airspace from Syria on Sunday, according to the military.

The unidentified aircraft was tracked by the military and "taken down over an open area," without posing a threat to residents of the area, the IDF said in a statement.

Hebrew media said the military believes the aircraft was of Iranian origin.
