by · The Jewish Press

A top Hezbollah terrorist was killed and several others were wounded late Monday afternoon in a surgical strike that targeted a vehicle in Damascus, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The nearby Golden Mezzeh Hotel was damaged in the attack, Syrian state media reported.

The unnamed terrorist was a key figure in the transfer of weapons from Iran via Syria to its proxy, Hezbollah, in Lebanon.

Israel was blamed for the “guided missile” attack, which took place in the Al-Mezzeh neighborhood near the Iranian Embassy and Syria’s Information Ministry, not far from a mourning tent set up for late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

The vehicle was complete destroyed in the strike.

There have been multiple other targeted assassinations carried out in Damascus this year, most of them in the same neighborhood. All were blamed on Israel.
