Residents there said that around 10:00 local time on Wednesday, three guided missiles hit several apartments in the area.

The attack caused panic in the area as bombing and civil defense teams rushed to the scene to put out fires and search for survivors.

Israel constantly shells Syrian territory under the pretext of attacking pro-Iranian militias, while Damascus claims that these attacks constitute a violation of its sovereignty and international law.

The Foreign Ministry urged the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities and put an end to these aggressions.
