More on yesterday’s Israeli attack on Damascus— dead increase to 3 plus 4 maimed
Yesterday’s report is here.
[Rudaw] An Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in the vicinity of Syria’s Damascus on Wednesday past midnight maimed two soldiers of the Syrian army and inflicted material damages, state media reported.

"At about 12:25 am, the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack with bursts of missiles from the direction of the north of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus," SANA said, citing a military source.

"The aggression resulted in the injury of two soldiers and some material losses," it continued, adding that air defense systems intercepted and shot down "most" of the missiles.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said that the strikes targeted positions of Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Any secondaries? We purely love secondaries!
The Observatory later on Wednesday said that two Iran-backed militias and one Syrian army soldier were killed in the strikes, adding that four others were maimed.

According to SOHR, Wednesday’s strike was the 20th Israeli strike on Syria since the beginning of the year.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes also targeted positions of the Syrian army's elite Fourth Division near the airport in the town of Dimas.

One Syrian pro-regime fighter and two foreign, Iran-affiliated combatants were killed in the strikes, the Observatory said.
