Syrian sources say three soldiers were killed and three others injured in an airstrike in Syria. On Sunday evening, targets near the capital Damascus were shelled by Israeli missiles, Syrian state news agency SANA said. At the same time, the Tartus region was attacked from the Mediterranean. The Israeli army initially declined to comment on the reports.
The Israeli air force regularly bombs targets in civil war-torn neighboring Syria.
Israel wants to prevent its nemesis Iran and its allied militias from expanding their military influence in Syria. Besides Russia, Iran is the Syrian government’s main ally in the civil war.
Attack from Lebanese territory
The air defense forces face “enemy targets” over Tartus and the Qalamoun Mountains near the border with Lebanon, it said. Explosions were heard. The attack was carried out by Israeli aircraft from Lebanese territory.
