Fires broke out on Sunday evening in security headquarters buildings in Damascus, according to correspondents from Agence France-Presse and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which explained that they were caused by Israeli shelling.

The agency's photographer saw flames rising from the security square area in Damascus, which includes security headquarters including military intelligence. In another neighborhood, another photographer saw flames erupting from a branch of criminal security. An agency correspondent reported that a fire also broke out at the immigration and passport center in the Abbasid district of the capital. The Observatory said that Israeli raids "targeted the security square in Damascus near the buildings of the former regime's General Staff, intelligence, and customs, which led to fires breaking out there."
