The Kataeb Party headquarters in Beirut's Saifi district has come under attack by unknown assailants.

The party issued a statement condemning the attack and calling on the state to find and arrest the assailants after they opened fire on the building at dawn Sunday.

The building’s eastern facade was targeted with six bullets, it said.

In its statement, the Kataeb pledged that “the building that embodies independence and freedom ... will remain open to all Lebanese.”

The party will not be intimidated by such attacks, it added.

At least two people were killed and three others injured on Monday in an apparent guided missile attack on a car in the Mazzeh area of Damascus, Syrian state television said, quoting a military source.

The source attributed the attack to Israel.

The attack occurred near the Eastern Roundabout, close to the Golden Mazzeh Hotel, a high-end establishment in the center of Syria's capital, state media added.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment.
