Скачать или смотреть Israel bombs defence ministry building in Damascus

Israel carried out intensive strikes on central Damascus on Wednesday, targeting Syria's military headquarters, the Ministry of Defence.

Large plumes of smoke can be seen billowing above as Israeli drones continue to circle overhead. Syria's state media has announced several casualties as a result of large explosions in the centre of the capital.

It is the latest of Israel's long-running campaign of air strikes and ground raids in Syria, seeking to establish what it says is a demilitarised "buffer zone" in the south of the country.
