The IDF appears to have destroyed the Syrian general staff command building in Damascus in a major airstrike, footage shows.

Earlier, a warning strike was carried out against the entrance. Defense Minister Israel Katz then warned that the IDF would ramp up its strikes unless Syrian forces withdraw from the Druze-majority city of Sweida, where deadly clashes have taken place.

Several airstrikes targeted the military headquarters building in Damascus, live television footage shows. The IDF confirms hitting the building.
