Israel Strikes Central Syria - Area Believed To House Iranian Forces


Israel allegedly strikes Syria area believed to house Iran forces; 5 killed, 19 hurt


The alleged Israeli strikes in central Syria have killed at least five people and wounded at least 19, including some in serious condition, according to a local hospital director in the Masyaf area cited by state news agency SANA.

The Masyaf area, west of Hama, is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias, and has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks widely attributed to Israel.

It contains the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS or SSRC, which according to Israel is used by Iranian forces to manufacture precision surface-to-surface missiles.



According to Syria’s Sham FM radio, alleged Israeli airstrikes tonight targeted the Masyaf area, west of Hama.

The station says there is no immediate information on the extent of the damage.

The area around Masyaf, which is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias, has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks widely attributed to Israel.



Syrian media report that air defenses are engaging an alleged Israeli airstrike over the Hama area.

The pro-government Sham FM radio reports that blasts are heard across central Syria.




Sirens are sounding again on the northern border with Lebanon, warning of incoming rocket fire.

Following a series of attacks on northern communities from the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror group throughout the day, the alerts are now sounding in Fassuta, a small Christian Arab village less than four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the border.
