Israeli strikes hit Syria’s capital Monday, state media reported, as a war monitor said six people were killed in a building adjacent to the Iranian embassy.

An AFP correspondent at the site confirmed the building next to the embassy in an upscale neighbourhood of Damascus had been levelled by the strike.

“Israeli missiles… destroyed the building of an annex to the Iranian embassy… in Damascus, killing six people,” said the Britain-based group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
