Israeli Military Conducts Attack On Syria’s Homs Governorate

On October 6, Israeli army aircraft pounded targets in Homs Governorate, and the Syrian army’s air defense systems were activated to intercept the regime’s missiles.

It is reported that most of the Israeli projectiles were cruise missiles launched from the Mediterranean Sea through northern Lebanon, and directed towards targets from the airspace south of Tartus port city. The sounds of explosions, which were heard between Homs and Tartus cities, were because of intercepting several Israeli missiles by the Syrian air defense system.

A Syrian military source said that the Israeli enemy launched several missiles through northern Lebanon, targeting areas in central Syria around 8:05 PM (local time) on Sunday, and that this assault resulted in material damage.

Based on a video footage on social media and reports stated by local sources, a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian army was targeted in this Israeli army’s air raid.

It is worth noting that Israeli army aircraft also pounded targets in the outskirts of Qusair in Homs Governorate on October 5.

In recent days, following an escalation in Israeli airstrikes in various regions of Lebanon, border areas shared between Syria Lebanon, especially Homs Governorate have been the scene of an increase in the number of Israeli airstrikes.

Most of the air raids were aimed at disrupting the supply and logistics lines, which were provided for convoys carrying weapons, medical aid, food, etc. The Tel Aviv regime carried out these aggressions in order to mount pressure on the Islamic resistance front in Lebanon.
