Rif Dimashq province: Violent explosion was heard in Ya’afour area in Rif Dimashq province near borders with Lebanon, due to an Israeli attack that targeted a building that had been frequented by commanders of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Jabaliya area.

It is unknown whether there were political figures inside the building at the time of the attack or not, while the anti-aircraft weapons of the regime attempted to intercept targets over the region. However, no casualties were reported.

SOHR documented 87 attacks in 2024: 70 airstrikes and 17 rocket attacks by ground forces, during which Israel targeted several positions in Syria, destroying nearly 160 targets, including buildings, weapons and ammunitions warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles.
