"Israeli Strike in Syria Kills Iranian Commanders, Escalates Tensions in the Middle East"
Israeli warplanes struck a building in Damascus, part of the Iranian Embassy complex, killing at least three senior Iranian commanders and four officers overseeing Iran’s covert operations in the Middle East. The strike, confirmed by Israeli officials, is one of the deadliest in the ongoing shadow war between Israel and Iran, which has escalated amid tensions over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Syrian and Iranian officials condemned the strike, with conflicting reports on the building's diplomatic status.
