At least two people were killed and several were injured on Monday in an alleged strike on an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps site on the outskirts of Damascus, Syrian and Iranian media reported.
Syria’s official state media agency, SANA, citing security officials, blamed the “Zionist enemy” and said several strikes were launched from the Golan Heights toward the Syrian capital.
Iran state media said two people were killed in the strike near the Sayyeda Zeinab shrine complex on the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus.
A source in Iran’s regional alliance told Reuters that the strike hit a location used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. The semi-official Tasnim news agency described the site as an Iranian military advisory center in Syria.
An official with one of the Iranian-backed groups, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss military activities, told the Associated Press that two Syrian citizens were killed in Monday’s strike. No Hezbollah members were hurt, the official said. READ MORE
