At least one person and possibly two people were killed and three others were injured late Monday afternoon in a surgical strike that targeted a vehicle in Damascus, Syrian state media reported. The nearby Golden Mezzeh Hotel was damaged in the attack.
Israel was blamed for the “guided missile” attack, which took place in the Al-Mezzeh neighborhood near the Iranian Embassy and Syria’s Information Ministry, not far from a mourning tent set up for late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

There have been multiple other targeted assassinations carried out in Damascus this year, most of them in the same neighborhood. All were blamed on Israel.
