Israeli airstrikes have killed 2 Syrian civilians; 7 injured: Report | Bashar al-Assad news

Israel’s “airstrikes” have killed two civilians in central Syria and injured seven others, mostly soldiers, the state-run SANA news agency reported.

Israeli airstrikes have killed two civilians in the central Syrian region and injured seven others, official media reported on Wednesday.

Syrian air defenses tried to capture the attack on the city of Homs. “An Israeli air strike has hit parts of the central region, and air defenses are responding,” the state news agency SANA said.

Two civilians were killed while another was seriously injured, SANA reported, adding that six Syrian soldiers were injured in the attack.

An unnamed military officer said the warplanes fired missiles at 01:26 a.m. (23:26 GMT) as they were flying through Lebanese airspace.

Israel, which has done hundreds of attacks in recent years, about Syria, he did not immediately comment on the report. He rarely acknowledges or discusses operations.

The latest attack comes as Israel has stepped up its attacks on Syria in recent weeks.

Last week, Syria said Israel had done it an attack South of the capital Damascus. The attack came from the occupied Golan Heights and struck an empty facility, causing no casualties.

Earlier this month, there were two Syrian soldiers wounded Israel after an air strike near the eastern countryside of Homs and the coastal city of Tartous.

Israel has admitted to removing the bases of Iran’s allied militias, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah group, which has deployed fighters in Syria. He says he attacks weapons shipments aimed at the armed group.

Hezbollah is fighting for the strength of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the 10-year civil war.

Israel says Iran’s presence on its northern border is a red line, and justifies airstrikes inside Syria’s facilities and weapons.
