According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, three additional people were killed, and ten people were injured.

Since the outbreak of civil conflict in Syria in 2011, Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes against its neighbor, hitting government troops and forces backed by Iran and Hezbollah fighters.

While Israel rarely talks about specific strikes, it has admitted to conducting hundreds.

According to the Israeli military, the operations are required to prevent its archenemy Iran from establishing a foothold on its borders.

The runways of Damascus International Airport were rendered inoperable for weeks by Israeli attacks last month.

In addition to substantial damage to civilian and military runways, the monitor reported that the strikes had targeted neighboring warehouses used by Iran and Hezbollah as weapons stores.

The Syrian war began with the violent suppression of nonviolent protests and intensified with the involvement of international forces and global terrorists.

Nearly half a million people have been killed, and roughly half of the country's pre-war population has been displaced due to the war.
