Sy🍸ria accused Israel Thursday of carrying out an airstrike in a central province, the second time in as many days, saying the aerial ಞattack caused material damage.
An unidentified Syrian military official quoted by the state news agency said air defenses shot down most of the missiles in the attack that occurred early Thursday on targets it did not name in the Quseir region of the Homs cou💃ntryside.
Israel has launched hundreds of strikes aꦚgainst Iran-linked military targets inꦚ war-ravaged Syria over the years but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
Late Monday, Syria reported an Israeli airstrike southeast of the northern Aleppo province, but did not mention details of the tarಌget or damage.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor that has activists on the ground in Syria, said ꧃Monday's strikes targeted weapons depots that belong to Iranian-backed militiamen operating in Aleppo's Safira region.
It also confirmed Thursday's strikes, saying they destroyed ammunitions and weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group in the western Homs countrꦦyside.
The Iran-backed group has been operating in Syria for years, helping President Bashar A🤪ssad's government reclaim control over most of the country after a devastating civil war.
