Syria has been fragmented by the aggression and intervention of Israel and other regional and international actors, who exploited the Syrian civil war to attain geopolitical interests.
The massacre is the third to be committed by Israel in the Mazzeh neighborhood in Damascus within one week.
According to the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the attack took place around 1 am with missiles coming from the direction of the Golan Heights which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967
Abiding by its long-term policy, Israel did not acknowledge its airstrikes in Syria. Its forces claimed that they carried out artillery shelling inside Lebanon following firing of two rockets from across the border into northern Israel
