Israel has conducted airstrikes targeting multiple locations in Damascus, Syria, according to two regional security sources cited by Reuters. The strikes hit a central research facility in Damascus, believed to be a site for Iran's development of long-range guided missiles. Additionally, Israel targeted the customs headquarters and military intelligence in a security complex in the Kafr Sousa suburb of the capital. The Scientific Studies and Research Center, long suspected of being used by Iran for missile development, was also among the targets.
