"You bastards. You agents of Israel," read some of the graffiti, according to two residents who live near the building in the affluent Abu Rummana neighbourhood, one of the most secure districts of the capital near the home and offices of Assad.

The suspension took effect on Wednesday after a meeting by Arab foreign ministers in Rabat, which Syria did not attend, Reuters reported.
