Alwaght- At least two Syrian civilians were killed and several soldiers wounded in Israeli regime's Wednesday's raid in Homs province, according to the Syria's state media (SANA), which noted Syrian air defenses were activated to repel the attack.
“At approximately 1:26 a.m. today, the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack with bursts of missiles from the direction of northeast of Beirut, targeting some points in the central region,” SANA cited an unknown military source as saying.
The latest airstrikes came exactly a week after Israel fired two missiles from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to an area in the south of the capital Damascus.
The Israeli attack targeted an empty building in southern Damascus, with SANA saying one of the missiles was shot down and no losses were caused.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against the foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime mostly keeps quiet about its attacks on Syrian territories which many view as knee-jerk reaction to Syrian government’s increasing success in confronting terrorism.
Israel has been a main supporter of terrorist groups that have opposed the government of President Bashar al-Assad since foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria nine years ago.
