Israeli forces have targeted a vehicle near the Aqraba Bridge on the approach to Damascus International Airport, Syrian media reported. One person was killed in the attack. It is believed that the vehicle may have been carrying a senior figure associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), adding further significance to the incident.

Syrian sources say the attack took place on a strategic road leading to the country's largest airport. The route is often used to transport cargo and senior officials of various groups, including Iranian-backed forces. The identity of the deceased and the reasons why the car was targeted have not yet been disclosed.

Israel regularly strikes targets in Syria, claiming the operations are aimed at preventing Iran and its allies such as Hezbollah from gaining ground. Strikes in areas around Damascus have increased in frequency recently, reflecting ongoing tensions in the region and increased Israeli military activity.

Experts suggest that the latest attack could be aimed at the escalating activities of the IRGC in Syria. The organization plays a key role in supporting Bashar al-Assad and coordinates the activities of allied groups, making its offices in Syria frequent targets for Israeli airstrikes. The destruction of a car carrying a high-ranking official could be part of Israel’s strategy to weaken Iran’s influence in the region.
