On November 10 afternoon, Israeli strikes hit a multi-story residential building in the Shiite town of Set Zaynab to the south of the Syrian capital, Damascus, according to Syrian state TV.
Video footage posted to social networks revealed that the strikes destroyed the entire fourth floor of the building. Several nearby residential buildings and cars were also damaged. Nine people were killed and at least 19 others were wounded, according to preliminary information.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Lebanon’s Hezbollah and several allied Iraqi armed factions maintain a strong presence in Set Zaynab.
The town was targeted by Israel on multiple occasions in the past, most recently on November 4 when the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck infrastructure and assets belonging to Hezbollah’s intelligence division there. No casualties were reported at the time.
The strikes Set Zaynab came less than 24 hours after an Israeli attack that targeted a radar site located on top of al-Masyah hill in the northeastern countryside of the Syrian governorate of al-Suwayda. The site was likely targeted to facilitate the strikes on the town.
Israel escalated its attacks on Syria after the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip last October, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of the IRGC, Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
After expanding operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon in September, the IDF said that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.

israelis running riot in arab capital cities. couldn’t happen in a european major city. could it…
the maccabee thug supporters in holland attacked arab owned cafes, tore down palestinian flags, attacked a moroccan taxi driver, attacked local people with weapons, and rampaged around shouting, “f… the arabs” and “kill their kids.” then at the match these a…holes interrupted one minute’s silence for the 200+ victims of the spanish floods by jeering and yelling. apparently this was “a pogrom” and “another kristallnacht.” typical shlomo playing the victim.
dr assad dr a****** start doing something..
assad is doing sh*t. he is on mercy of putin and half of russian oligarchs have something nasty on putin so he is quite docile. don’t forget these oligarchs are all jeeews.
don’t worry folks during his second term president and commander in chief donald j trump will order us troops out of syria and there’s nothing people like lindsay graham will be able to do about it. mark my words.
trust me, usa is a banana republic, with or without trump.
nonsense, graham desires only isr exist and control the region and they will never stop attack syria and iran. there are a few countries the us loathe anmd will never have peace with iran, syria, venezuela, cuba, n korea, china and russia.
the uk, eu and us and isr are in coordination and unison (almost as if it is one country now), they will keep up the pressure of destruction and death as a lesson to the local inhabitants of that region that dare to challenge their might and rules that thhey must never attack isr again. there will never be a palestine state as uk, eu and us are secretly in agreement that only isr owns and controls that region.
