ALBAWABA- In a recent escalation, Israeli airstrikes have targeted the city of Homs in Syria. According to Syrian state television, Syrian air defenses have actively engaged and confronted enemy targets in the skies over Homs.
The recent Israeli airstrikes on Homs mark another episode in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Syria, with Syrian air defenses actively working to counter the incoming threats.
SANA Agency reported that a child was killed and dozens were injured in the attack. A military source confirmed to SANA that the Israeli occupation carried out an air raid this evening, targeting a site in the central region and a residential building in Baniyas.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of military engagements in the region. Last April, Israel targeted the Iranian embassy residence in Damascus, resulting in the deaths of 14 Iranian diplomats and military experts.
This attack sparked global outrage and provoked a strong reaction from Iran. In retaliation, Iran launched a massive attack on Israel, deploying hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles.
This marked the first direct confrontation of its kind between the two rival powers in the region.
