Israeli aircraft struck a building used by Syria’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday, killing five members of the Syrian security forces, a Syrian medical source told Reuters. Two separate security sources earlier confirmed that the raid caused both fatalities and injuries among ministry personnel. The strike—which Damascus has not publicly commented on—follows a pattern of Israeli attacks on Syrian territory that Israel says target threats emanating from the country. Israel’s military routinely declines to discuss individual operations, and there was no immediate statement from Jerusalem on Wednesday’s incident.
