A war monitor said Israeli strikes on Syria early Sunday targeted at least two sites in Damascus province including a weapons depot, while state media said a soldier was wounded in the attack.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says “Israeli missiles” targeted a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian military and used by Hezbollah in Damascus province’s Qalamun mountains.
Another site near an army battalion in the same area was also targeted, added the Britain-based Observatory, reporting a fire at one of the sites.
The organization, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false and inaccurate reporting.
State news agency SANA, carrying a statement from a military source, said earlier that “the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack… targeting a number of points in the southern region,” without specifying where.
It said a soldier was wounded in the attack and reported “material losses”, adding that air defense systems shot down some of the missiles.
Since the Gaza war erupted, sparked by Hamas’s October 7 massacres, Israel has stepped up a years-long campaign of airstrikes aimed at rolling back Iran’s presence in Syria, attacking both Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah, which has been exchanging fire with Israel across the Lebanese-Israeli border since October 8.
