Strikes that a Syrian war monitor said were carried out by Israel in Damascus’s Barzeh area have completely destroyed a defence ministry research centre, AFP correspondents saw Tuesday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had reported Monday that “Israeli warplanes launched over 100 strikes… including on the Barzeh scientific research centre”. Western countries including the United States struck the facility in 2018, saying it was related to Syria’s “chemical weapons infrastructure”.
