Israeli aerial aggression in Syrian city of Homs strikes civilian targets

Air raids by the Israeli regime against civilian targets in the outskirts of the Western Syrian city of Homs have left at least three people injured, marking the latest military aggression by Tel Aviv against the terror-ravaged Arab nation.

Citing a military source, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported on Saturday that Israeli warplanes fired several missiles from the direction of northern Lebanon at areas in the vicinity of Homs at around 00:50 a.m. local time earlier in the day (2150 GMT Friday), noting that most of the projectiles were intercepted and destroyed before striking their intended targets.

The source was further cited as adding that following an inspection of the targeted area by the Syrian military it was discovered that the three civilians had sustained injuries as a result of the attack.

According to the report, the air raids also caused some material damage, setting on fire a civilian fuel station along with a number of fuel tankers and trucks.

Another report by Syria’s popular Sham FM radio station further said fires had erupted in the southern outskirts of Homs as a result of the Israeli strikes and “successive explosions sounded from the area.”

Back on April 24, the Israeli regime’s military forces also launched a volley of 12 artillery shells at an area east of Syria’s Hader village, which lies in the Khan Arnabah sub-district of the southwestern province of Quneitra near the border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
