After powerful Israeli strikes on Damascus, Syria withdraws troops from Suwayda city

Israel carried out a series of powerful strikes on the Syrian capital Damascus Wednesday, escalating a campaign it says is in support of an Arab minority group involved in deadly clashes with Syrian government forces.

At least three people were killed and 34 others were injured in the attacks, the Syrian health ministry told CNN.

Israel has stepped up its campaign despite pressure from the US, which has made moves to end Syria’s international isolation.

Syria has strongly condemned Israel for striking several government buildings in Damascus on Wednesday, calling the attacks on targets including its Ministry of Defense a “dangerous escalation.”
