Israeli Air Strike Kills Two Civilians in Damascus

Israeli police have arrested seven individuals on charges of espionage for Iran, alleging they gathered sensitive information from military bases and energy sites, which posed a security threat to Israel. The arrests were made following a two-year investigation, with the accused reportedly receiving substantial payments in cryptocurrency for their activities. In a separate incident, two civilians were killed and three others injured in Damascus due to an explosion attributed to an Israeli airstrike that targeted a civilian vehicle in the Mazzeh district. Syria's defense ministry confirmed the strike and reported material damage in the area, which has previously been targeted by Israeli attacks. The Israeli government has not commented on this specific incident but maintains a stance against Iranian military presence in Syria. These events highlight the ongoing tensions and conflicts in the region, particularly involving Iran and Israel.
