According to the Syrian state media, Israeli strikes targeted, on Sunday, November 13, of the strategic sites of the province of Homs, in the center of Syria. A military source, quoted by the official Sana agency, says that the strikes have reached “Al-Chaayrate military airport”, killing two soldiers and injuring three.
Syrian air defenses “intercepted hostile targets above the province of Homs,” added Sana. Syrian state television broadcast images showing air defense systems intercepting missiles presented as those “of an Israeli aggression”.
The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (OSDH), based in Great Britain, also pointed out explosions in the al-chaayrate air base controlled by the regime, saying that four missiles had been drawn.
hundreds of Israeli air strikes since 2011
This area houses military sites used by the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad as well as groups supported by Iran, including the Lebanese Shiite movement of Hezbollah.
Israel has led hundreds of air strikes on Syrian territory since the civil war broke out in 2011, targeting government positions as well as allied forces supported by Iran and Hezbollah fighters.
Israel rarely comments on the strikes he leads to Syria, but has repeatedly declared that he would not allow his sworn enemy, Iran, to set up there.
Israeli strikes targeting the al-chaayrate base on November 8, 2021 injured two soldiers of the Syrian regime, according to the Syrian state media.
At the end of October, four Iranian pro combatants were killed during Israeli strikes on several positions near Damascus, said the OSDH, which relies on a large network of sources in Syria.
