An Israeli airstrike hit a residential building in the Kafr Sousa district in Syria’s capital Damascus, killing two people, Syrian state media and a security source said.

A military source cited by Syrian state TV said the strike at around 9:40am (0740 GMT) wounded a number of other people, identifying the dead as civilians.

Images published by Syrian state media showed the charred side of a multi-story building. The security source said the “attack did not achieve its aims”, Reuters reports.
