Syrian state media say an Israeli airstrike has destroyed the consular section of Iran’s embassy in Damascus, killing or wounding everyone inside.
An Israeli airstrike has destroyed the consular section of Iran’s embassy in Syria, killing a senior Iranian military advisor and roughly a handful of other people, Syrian state media said Monday. The strike on the Iranian consulate building could mark an escalation of the Israeli military’s ongoing targeting of Iranian military officials and allies in Syria, something that has intensified since the onset of its war with Hamas in Gaza on Oct. 7.
Mekdad in a phone call with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian, condemned Israel over the attack. Iranian state television said the Iranian ambassador’s residence was in the consular building, which stood next to the embassy. State news agency SANA, citing an unnamed military source, said the building in the tightly guarded neighborhood of Mazzeh was leveled. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets in government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years.
