Damascus car bomb kills army liaison with Hezbollah
==========

A car bomb in Damascus killed a Syrian officer who worked closely with Hezbollah. The officer was from the eastern province of Deir Ezzor and was tasked with recruiting Syrian fighters for Hezbollah. The bombing occurred in the upscale Mazzeh district, and state media reported one person dead without identifying the victim. This comes amid regional tensions as Israel fights a war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes against Hezbollah and other Iran-backed targets in Syria since the civil war began in 2011.
