On Sunday night, Syrian media reported a series of assaults allegedly carried out by Israel across multiple regions, including Hama, Homs, Tartus, and Damascus.
According to these reports, the attacks inflicted significant damage on a “scientific research institute” located in the Masyaf area of Hama’s countryside, which was struck by multiple missiles.
The reports also mentioned that various military positions were targeted during the strikes.
The Saudi Al-Hadath channel stated that a total of 15 missiles were launched in the attacks.
The reports suggest that this wave of Israeli assaults represents the most intense offensive in Syria in several years.
A Syrian military spokesperson informed local TV that “around 11:20 p.m., Israel launched an air strike from the direction of Lebanon against several military sites in the central area of Syria.”
The spokesperson added that Syrian defense systems engaged the incoming missiles and managed to intercept some. The reports indicated that the strikes resulted in the deaths of five Syrians and injuries to 15 others, with damage reported at the targeted locations.
Israel has yet to provide any comment on these reports.
In late August, Syrian media reported an air raid in Homs, which was attributed to Israel.
These reports claimed that the country’s air defense systems were activated in response to “hostile targets”. Al-Hadath further reported that the strike was aimed at a Hezbollah military installation.
Earlier that month, Syrian state media disclosed that four military personnel sustained injuries in an air raid on Homs, also attributed to Israel.
The reports mentioned that the assault originated from northern Lebanon and resulted in “some material damage.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based group affiliated with the Syrian opposition, reported seven injuries from the strike, including three members of pro-Iranian militias.
