Explosions were heard over Syria’s Damascus early on Thursday after Israel launched strikes on the city, Syrian state media says.

No further details are immediately available. Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iranian-linked targets in Syria for years, but has ramped up such raids since last year’s October 7 attack by Palestinian terror group Hamas.



An Israeli airstrike targeting an office belonging to a Beirut-based TV station killed one person, Lebanon’s Health Ministry says.

The ministry says five other people, including a child, were wounded in Wednesday’s strike. The child was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital.

Pan-Arab TV channel Al-Mayadeen, which is politically allied with the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, said its office in the area between Jnah and Ouzai on the outskirts of Beirut’s southern suburbs was targeted.

“Al-Mayadeen holds the Israeli occupation accountable for the attack on a known media office for a known media outlet,” Al-Mayadeen TV said.

The name of the person killed is unknown.

Al Mayadeen said that the office had been evacuated. The Israeli army did not issue a warning before the strike.
