The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that “Israeli missiles destroyed an ammunition depot belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah at the Dabaa military airport in the countryside of Homs.”
Three civilians were injured Friday night, Saturday, as a result of Israeli air strikes in the vicinity of Homs, central Syria, according to Syrian official media.
And the official news agency, SANA, reported that at “about twelve o’clock and 50 minutes in the morning today, the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with a number of missiles from the direction of northern Lebanon, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Homs, and our air defense media intercepted the aggression’s missiles and shot down some of them.”
It added that the bombing resulted in “injuring three civilians, igniting a civilian gas tank, and burning a number of tanks and trucks.”
Hezbollah warehouse
For its part, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that “Israeli missiles destroyed an ammunition depot belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah at the Dabaa military airport in the countryside of Homs.”
He added, “Violent explosions were heard as a result of the explosion of the ammunition stored in the warehouse, and fires were seen burning at the site, without information about human losses so far.”
On April 2nd, Israel carried out similar strikes on a Hezbollah facility in the Dabaa airport area, killing pro-Iranian fighters and wounding five soldiers, according to the Observatory.
Israel did not claim any strikes in Syria. During the years of the conflict, it launched hundreds of air strikes that targeted Syrian army sites and Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah targets, including weapons and ammunition depots in separate areas.
Israel reiterates that it will continue to confront what it describes as Iran’s attempts to consolidate its military presence in Syria.
