Israeli bombardment killed a policeman in the south of Syria near the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, state media said, the day after a deadly air strike on the capital, AFP reports.

Citing a police official, the official SANA news agency reported “the death of a security force member and wounding of another in an Israeli strike” on the outskirts of Quneitra city.

It comes after a strike in the Damascus neighbourhood of Mazzeh late on Tuesday, that a war monitor said targeted a building used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

The Syrian government said it killed seven civilians.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor on Wednesday reported a higher toll of nine civilians, including four children.

The Britain-based organisation said four others were also killed, including two members of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
