The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group opposing the Assad regime, claims that an attack in Baniyas, located in the country's north-west, was orchestrated by Israel and targeted a villa in the coastal city.
The organization's report indicates that one individual was killed and suggests that the assault was specifically aimed at three high-ranking Iranians.
In a related report, the "Nors" Syrian research center also confirmed the attack in Baniyas.
It detailed that the villa under attack had been leased just a few days prior to Iranian officials, who had escaped from the vicinity of Sayyidah Zaynab near Damascus due to an earlier Israeli attack.
Israel has carried out its first airstrikes in Syria in nearly a month, saying it hit weapons belonging to the government in retaliation for the firing of two projectiles towards Israel and holding interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa responsible.
Foreign investors returned to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in force last month, increasing their holdings despite ongoing conflict in Gaza and heightened regional tensions. Net foreign purchases reached an estimated NIS 2.5 billion ($700 million) in May, with much of the capital concentrated in the banking sector.
