Syria's defense ministry reported on Monday that an Israeli attack targeting a vehicle earlier in the day resulted in the deaths of two civilians.
"At approximately 17:05 (1417 GMT), the Israeli enemy launched an air strike targeting a civilian car in the residential neighbourhood of Mazzeh in Damascus, killing two civilians and injuring three," the ministry added.
Damascus' Mazzeh neighborhood houses several embassies and security headquarters. Reports indicate that a hotel suffered damage and vehicles were set ablaze due to the explosion near the Syrian Information Ministry.
