Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael launched on Wednesday a series of strikes on former army barracks in Kiswah, in the southwestern Damascus countryside, two Syrian army sources and state-run El Ekhbariya TV reported, marking the second attack within 24 hours.
The Kiswah region and Jabal Manea were among the most significant military outposts used by pro-Iranian militias during the Assad era.
The latest strikes coincide with security talks between Damascus and its long-time foe aimed at reaching a deal to reduce tensions.
The IDF has not yet issued a response.
Syrian media reported yesterday that six Syrian soldiers were killed in an Israeli strike in the same area.
