The Syrian regime's news agency "SANA" announced on Monday that two civilians were killed and three others were injured as a result of an Israeli aggression that targeted a car in the Mazzeh neighborhood in the capital, Damascus.

SANA quoted an unnamed military source as saying: "At around 17:05 local time (14:05 GMT), the Israeli enemy launched an air strike targeting a civilian car in the residential neighborhood of Mezzeh in Damascus, which led to the martyrdom of two civilians and the injury of three others."

The source pointed out that "material damage occurred to private property in the area surrounding the aggression."

Earlier on Monday, SANA reported a car explosion in a neighborhood in the Mazzeh area of the capital, Damascus.

She stated in a post on her account on the X platform, "Initial information indicates a car explosion in one of the neighborhoods of the Mazzeh area in Damascus."

Since 2011, Israel has been launching occasional raids on Syria, saying it is targeting Iranian-backed groups and Syrian regime military positions.

The explosion comes at a time when Israel, with American support, continues to commit genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, in addition to a large-scale war on Lebanon since September 23.
