BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Missiles fired by the Zionist regime targeted a western Syrian city on Sunday wounding three Syrian soldiers, Syrian state media reported.
The official news agency SANA, citing a military source, said the missiles were fired at Masyaf in Hama province at dawn. Syria’s air defenses shot several of them down.
Syrian state media did not report any deaths.
However, the Britain-based opposition war monitor so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the strike targeted a weapons depot and killed three military personnel.
According to the Al Ekhbariya TV channel, the missile strikes were launched against ground targets in the Masyaf area.
As a result, three Syrian soldiers were wounded. Material damage was also recorded.
The Syrian Arab News Agency quoted a Syrian military statement that the enemy also attacked several positions near Tartus.
“The Israeli aggressive action was launched from the airspace of neighboring Lebanon,” the document said, adding, “Our anti-aircraft guns opened fire on enemy targets and struck several missiles.”
There was no immediate comment from the occupying regime, which has staged hundreds of strikes on targets in Syria over the years. However, it rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.
The occupying regime previously attacked Masyaf in May and August 2022 killing five people and wounding two.
The Zionist regime frequently violates Syrian sovereignty by carrying out missile attacks on targets inside the country, mostly using the airspace of Lebanon or the occupied territories.
The targets include residential buildings. Military positions especially those of the Hezbollah resistance movement, which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists, are also frequently hit by Israeli strikes.
The Tel Aviv regime has been a main supporter of terrorist groups that have battled the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria in early 2011.
Syria has repeatedly complained to the UN over the assaults, urging the Security Council to take action against Tel Aviv’s crimes. The calls have, however, fallen on deaf ears.
