Iran's supreme leader says Israel 'will be slapped' for Damascus strikes. The strikes destroyed the consular annex of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, killing seven members of the Guards of the Revolution.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH) indicated on Wednesday that the death toll from the raid had risen to 16 dead, including two civilians. It was the fifth Israeli raid in the space of a week in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad is supported by Iran, Israel's sworn enemy in the region.
