On October 9, Syrian FROG-7 surface-to-surface missiles struck the Israeli Air Force base of Ramat David, killing a pilot and injuring several soldiers. Additional missiles struck civilian settlements. In retaliation, 7 Israeli F-4 Phantoms flew into Syria and struck the Syrian General Staff Headquarters in Damascus. The upper floors of the Syrian GHQ and the Air Force Command were badly damaged, and a nearby Soviet cultural center was also mistakenly hit. One Israeli Phantom was shot down. The pilot was killed, and the navigator ejected and was taken prisoner. An unknown number of Syrian military personnel were killed. Syria announced its civilian casualties in the raid as 26 dead and 117 injured, while the Soviets reported that 30 people had been killed in its cultural center.
