Israel has released drone footage of a huge missile strike on Syria’s military HQ on Wednesday (16 July).

Black-and-white IDF footage shows the military headquarters in Damascus exploding as a huge smoke cloud forms.

The strikes on Damascus are Israel’s most intense in years amid deadly clashes between Druze factions and government forces in the south.
