Israel launches strikes on Syrian military sites

The Israeli regime has carried out new strikes on Syria, targeting several military sites in the Arab country’s northwest with missiles and drones.

Syrian media said on Sunday that at least five people were killed and nearly 20 others injured in the attacks that targeted the city of Hama.

Syrian officials said several of those injured are in critical condition.

The Syrian ministry of defense said the country’s air defense system managed to intercept and shoot down some of the incoming missiles.

The Israeli airstrike against the crisis-hit Arab nation comes amid the regime’s bloody onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the coastal territory, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, since Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7.

Nearly 41,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while another 94,616 individuals have sustained injuries.

Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.

The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its cowardly attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.
