Iran accused Israel of a deadly rocket attack on a building in the Syrian capital of Damascus serving as a residence for Iranian military advisers, killing at least five people.
Israel hasn’t commented on the strike, which risks further ratcheting up tensions between the Middle Eastern adversaries as Israel continues to pursue its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It follows an attack this week by Iran on what Tehran said was an Israeli spy base in Iraq.
