At least 20 people were killed and 21 injured in Israeli airstrikes across Damascus and surrounding areas, targeting neighborhoods with suspected militant presence. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed three members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad among the deceased. The strikes are part of a broader campaign, with 149 attacks reported in Syria this year. Concurrently, airstrikes in Gaza and Lebanon have resulted in significant casualties, as reports indicate over 40 dead in Lebanon alone from Israeli bombardments, intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the region.
