Israeli Airstrikes in Syria have increased the regional tension and terror among the local people. At least 14 people were killed in Israeli air strikes on military spots in central Syria, according to Syria’s state news agency, Sana. The strikes happened near Masyaf in Hama province on Sunday night, and 43 more people were hurt, according to a hospital director.
A UK-based group that monitors Syria said four soldiers and three civilians were killed in attacks that hit military and scientific places where Iran-backed groups were active.
The Israeli military didn’t comment on these reports, but it has admitted before that it has done hundreds of strikes in Syria, mainly on targets tied to Iran and its allies.
Since the war in Gaza started last October, Israel has reportedly increased these attacks, especially after cross-border hits on northern Israel by Hezbollah and other groups from Lebanon and Syria.
Sana, quoting a Syrian military source, said Israeli planes flying over north-western Lebanon launched missiles at “military sites in the central region” around 11:20 PM local time on Sunday. The military source added, “Our air defence took down some of the missiles.”
The strikes also damaged a highway and caused a fire in the Hair Abbas area, according to the news agency.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group that tracks the conflict through sources on the ground, reported that “13 loud explosions shook the area around the scientific research centres in Masyaf, where pro-Iranian groups and weapons experts are present.”
The group also said three civilians in a car and four unidentified soldiers were killed.
