Seven civilians injured in Israeli aggression targeting central Syria
At least seven civilians suffered injuries when Israeli military aircraft carried out a strike against several military installations and buildings in the central region of the Arab country.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that Israeli warplanes launched an assault from the direction of northern Lebanon at approximately 7:35 p.m. local time (1635 GMT) on Friday, targeting a number of sites in the central region.
The source said Syrian air defense units managed to intercept and shoot down some of the missiles. The attack resulted in the injury of seven civilians and caused material losses in the targeted area.
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 the Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7 last year.
At least 40,265 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while 93,144 others have sustained injuries.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of 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 attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.
Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria in 2011.
