Israeli airstrikes hit a residential area of Damascus and a military site in Homs on Thursday, leaving one Syrian soldier dead and seven others injured, according to state media reports.

The official SANA news agency said the Israeli military “launched an attack from the occupied Syrian Golan and from north Lebanon, targeting two sites” in the Kafr Sousa district of the capital and a military installation near Homs.

This latest assault comes just days after a similar Israeli strike on Monday evening that killed two civilians and wounded three others in the al-Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus, SANA reported.

The Syrian government condemned the Israeli aggression and vowed to respond to the attacks, which have further escalated tensions in the region.
