SANA later reported that Syrian air defenses responded to the Israeli strike.

There were unconfirmed reports on social media that the strike occurred near the Iranian Embassy, which is located in the Mazzeh area of the city.

The Iranian state media outlet Press TV shared a post on X that said a building near the embassy sustained a missile attack.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the reports.

Israel is suspected of carrying out regular airstrikes in Syria against Iranian military targets. The strikes have continued since the start of the Gaza war in October.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
