Israel Bombs Syrian Army HQ in Damascus, Steps Up Attacks on Suwayda
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's military says it has bombed the Syrian Army's headquarters in
Damascus. Syrian media reported two civilians were injured in the
attack, which came even as Israel separately stepped up attacks on the
Druze-majority city of Suwayda in southern Syria. Israel's attacks came
as fighting resumed between Syrian government forces and Druze armed
groups, after a ceasefire agreement collapsed.
