At least two people were killed and three others injured on Monday in an apparent guided missile attack on a car in the Mazzeh area of Damascus, Syrian state television said, quoting a military source, APA reports citing Reuters.
The source attributed the attack to Israel.
The attack occurred near the Eastern Roundabout, close to the Golden Mazzeh Hotel, a high-end establishment in the centre of Syria's capital, state media added.
An Israeli military spokesman later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it killed the head of Hezbollah's money transfers unit.
"We will continue to act against Hezbollah in Syria and everywhere else," Israel’s chief military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said in a televised statement.
