Western diplomats were within metres of Israel strikes in Damascus: Reuters

Western diplomats were passing near Syria's defense ministry in Damascus in an armoured convoy when Israel struck the building with several missiles on Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the matter, including a Syrian eyewitness.

No-one in the convoy was injured and it continued on its way, the people said, declining to give further details on the nationalities or number of those involved.
