This Letter reports the observation of

production and a measurement of its cross section using

of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets, as well as events with three charged leptons, are selected. A multivariate technique is then used to discriminate between signal and background events. Events from

production are observed with a significance of 8.0 standard deviations, where the expectation is 5.4 standard deviations. The inclusive
