The Syrian regime announced that 5 soldiers were injured as a result of air strikes targeting positions in the city and countryside of Homs in Israel.
After midnight last night, Israeli warplanes launched “an airstrike from northeast of Beirut targeting some points in the city and countryside of Homs,” the Syrian government’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. “It caused 5 soldiers to be injured and some material losses.”
The statement said air defense media “intercepted the missiles of the aggression and shot down some of them”.
Reuters quoted two sources from Western intelligence services as saying that the raid targeted the T4 airbase west of Palmyra and the Dabaa airport near the city of Qusayr, while Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters were deployed at both airports, according to local sources. The raid resulted in the deaths of two Iranians.
And the day before yesterday, on Friday, a commander of the Iranian “Revolutionary Guards” was killed in a bomb attack on points near Damascus, while the regime announced at dawn on Thursday that two of its members were injured in a similar bombing.
