Why is Ephraim included in the prophecy concerning Damascus?

Isaiah 17:3 (ESV)

3 The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel,declares the LORD of hosts.

Ephraim and Damascus were the two enemies who conspired to threaten and attack King Ahaz of Judah.
