Israeli Airstrikes Target Qusair Region in Central Syria
Israeli shelling today, Thursday, targeted the Qusair area in central Syria, near the Lebanese border, as reported by Syrian state media, following several recent Israeli airstrikes in the region.
Violent explosions were heard in the Qusair area and its rural surroundings in western Homs, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Sana news agency reported "Israeli shelling targeting the Qusair area in southern Homs," which caused "material damage to the industrial city and some residential neighborhoods," adding that there were "initial reports of injuries among civilians," without specifying the number.
Israel typically does not comment on specific reports of strikes on Syria, but it has been conducting strikes for years against what it claims are Iran-linked targets in Syria.
