This comes less than 24 hours after Israel attacked Al-Qusayr in western Syria, claiming to target Iranian arms supply routes to Hezbollah.

ALBAWABA- Syrian media reported loud explosions over Homs as Israeli airstrikes targeted the Al-Aminiyah and Umm Harateen areas to the north and west of the city. 

This comes less than 24 hours after Israel attacked Al-Qusayr in western Syria, claiming to target Iranian arms supply routes to Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes intensified, with Army Radio confirming attacks on the largest number of targets identified by Military Intelligence. 

Strikes were reported in the Bekaa Valley and across southern Lebanon, targeting what the Israeli army described as Hezbollah’s weapons depots and military facilities. 

These escalations come just hours before a widely anticipated ceasefire agreement is expected to be announced.
