For its part, the Syrian Defense Ministry said three civilians were killed and three others injured in the strike. The ministry said the attack was launched from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Xinhua news agency reported.
Israel killed Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike in the Lebanese capital Beirut on 27 September.
Wednesday's attack marks the second Israeli airstrike in the area this week. On Tuesday morning, Israel targeted a site approximately 500 meters from Wednesday's strike, killing three people, including a journalist, and injuring nine others.
