DAMASCUS, July 16, 2025 (AFP) - Syria's health ministry said a series of Israeli strikes targeting the army and defence ministry headquarters in Damascus on Wednesday killed one person and wounded another 18.

AFP correspondents said the strikes destroyed part of a four-storey building adjacent to the defence ministry, while the city's usually bustling Umayyad Square nearby was empty except for ambulances and military vehicles.
