The Israeli radio reported that a senior figure may have been targeted in the Kafr Souseh attack in Damascus attributed to Israel, while the Iranian news agency denied the validity of the reports that spoke of Iranian victims in the raids that targeted yesterday's Kafr Souseh in Damascus.
And the Syrian Ministry of Health announced that 5 people were killed, including a soldier, and 15 wounded, including critical cases, in the Israeli bombing of residential neighborhoods in Damascus.
The Syrian news agency said that Israeli missiles hit inhabited buildings in the Kafr Souseh area, and that air defenses responded to hostile targets in the sky of the capital late on Saturday evening.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, strongly condemned the Israeli raids that targeted targets in Damascus and its suburbs, and resulted in the killing of a number of innocent Syrian civilians, as he put it.
He added in a statement that the Zionist entity's attack on Syria immediately after the terrorist organization's attack on Syrian territory shows the deep interdependence between two terrorist entities, as he put it.
And he considered that these attacks come at a time when the Syrian people are suffering from the damages of the earthquake, and it appears that they are trying to intensify the pain of the Syrian people, as he put it.
Kanani stressed that the silence of Western countries in the face of Israel's continued violations of Syrian sovereignty is disgraceful, and called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to take "urgent, strict and effective measures towards the Zionist entity's violations against Syria."
The Iranian news agency "IRNA" stated that there is no truth to the published reports regarding the presence of Iranians among the victims of the raids that targeted Kafr Souseh area, in Damascus, last night.
The agency, quoting reliable sources in Damascus, denied the injury or death of any Iranian citizens during the Israeli attack that targeted the Kafr Souseh area in Damascus.
IRNA indicated, quoting from its office in Damascus, that the Israeli raids killed 3 Syrian citizens, and wounded a number of others.
Information about the target location
Witnesses and officials said that the Israeli missile attack targeted, in the early hours of Sunday morning, a building in the Kafr Sousse neighborhood in the center of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The following is information about the place targeted by the Israeli bombing:
The targeted building is located near a large security complex close to Iranian facilities, which resulted in five deaths.
The rare targeted attack damaged several buildings in the densely populated area near Umayyad Square in the heart of the capital, where multi-storey security buildings are located in the middle of residential areas.
The target site for the Israeli bombing is located within a building located directly behind the Iranian school, where the walls of the school are completely connected to the walls of the targeted building.
The targeted floor is an underground floor, which looks like a car garage, and it was shown in the videos taken by civilians from the same place that it was still burning, and there was a large gap where the missile hit.
The same site was targeted on July 26, 2016 with a car bomb, and the party that targeted it said at the time that it was used as an operations and meeting room for leaders running military groups supported by Iran.
– The area in which the targeted building and the Iranian school is located, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of the regime, the Egyptian Embassy, the High Commissioner for Refugees, Military Security, and the General Intelligence Department are also located.
An Israeli accusation against Iran
On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that Tel Aviv will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons or prove its presence on its "northern borders."
Netanyahu said on Sunday that Iran was responsible for an attack, reported last week in the Gulf region, on an oil tanker owned by an Israeli businessman.
Yesterday, Saturday, the tanker management confirmed that it had suffered minor damage on February 10 due to an airborne object attack while it was sailing in the Arabian Sea.
Shipping databases linked the tanker to the Zodiac Maritime Company, owned by Israeli shipping magnate Eyal Ofer.
The official Israeli radio had quoted Israeli security and intelligence sources confirming the validity of the recently published information about the Campo Square ship being attacked by Iranian drones while it was sailing in the Gulf waters.
The Israeli radio added that the company that owns the British Zodiac ship, owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer, announced that the ship, an oil tanker, had already been attacked, but it was empty and none of its crew was hurt.
At the beginning of the weekly session of his government, Netanyahu stated that Iran attacked the oil tanker last week and yesterday it attacked an American base, and that it is relentlessly trying to harm Israel and its citizens in different parts of the world.
However, these attacks will not deter Israel from doing whatever it takes to protect its citizens, and it is responding firmly and forcefully, he said.
He also accused Iran of trying to undermine the internal cohesion of Israel;
Pointing out that he heard Hassan Nasrallah's statements about an imminent civil war in Israel, and "this will not happen because we are brothers, we live in a democratic system, and there are differences and arguments, but we always remember that we fought together side by side."
According to him.
