A young girl was killed under the Israeli shelling on a building in Al-Mazza Villas neighbourhood in Damascus, raising the number of casualties to four, following an attack on a three-story residential building that is frequented by commanders of Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

It is worth noting that Israel launched an attack nearly 500 metres away from the building.

SOHR documented 93 attacks in 2024: 76 airstrikes and 17 rocket attacks by ground forces, during which Israel targeted several positions in Syria, destroying nearly 184 targets, including buildings, weapons and ammunitions warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles.

In addition, those attacks left 29 civilians, including two children and seven women, dead and nearly 45 other civilians injured.
