Israeli airstrike injures two soldiers in Damascus.

The Israeli Air Force allegedly carried out an airstrike near Damascus, causing material damage and wounding two soldiers, according to Syrian state media. Israel is believed to have carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years, including attacks on the Damascus and Aleppo airports, but it rarely acknowledges or discusses the operations. Israel views Iran’s expansion throughout Syria as a continued threat to its national security, and has conducted strikes across a broad range of targets in an effort to curb Iran’s forces in the region.
