Syria’s air defenses have been activated in response to a wave of Israeli aggression for the third time in four days.
The attack came from the Lebanese airspace at around 00:35am local time, targeting the city of Homs and its surroundings, an unnamed military official told SANA.
The military source confirmed some material damages and at least five injuries among soldiers, after air defenses failed to intercept some of the missiles.
Five Syrian service members were injured as a result of the Israeli air attack in Syria’s Homs Governorate, the Syrian Defense Ministry informs.
Late on Saturday night, Syrian state broadcaster Alikhbaria TV said that Syrian air defense systems were repelling an Israeli attack in the province of Homs and that some of the missiles were shot down.
The latest air raid came after two nights of strikes on the Syrian capital and its suburbs. The first barrage of missiles hit Damascus early on Thursday, shortly after midnight local time.
The Syrian military blamed the IDF for the attack that came from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and injured at least two soldiers in addition to causing some material damage.
Another wave of missiles targeted a location in the Damascus countryside the next night, around 12:17am local time, but caused no casualties, according to the Syrian military.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has not commented on any of the attacks, in line with its long-standing policy of not discussing its hostile operations conducted outside the country.
However, Israeli warplanes have repeatedly bombed targets inside Syria over the country’s decade-long struggle against jihadists, with recently re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once acknowledging hundreds of strikes over the years.
On the occasions that the Israel Defense Forces comment on the attacks, they claim to be hitting Iranian and Hezbollah targets in pre-emptive self-defense against Tehran’s growing influence in Syria.
Damascus has repeatedly protested the raids as a violation of Syrian sovereignty, to no avail. The UN turns its head the other way, while the ICC will never respond at all?

All these Israeli terrorist attacks are the results of close coordination between the Israel Fascist regime and The Russian military leadership in Damascus and Moscow. Russia is using Syria as a bargaining chip to have Israel on its sided in Ukraine.
The wars are between the same parties in Ukraine as in Israel, both the Khazarica mafia and the Russians, which has been going on for 1.900 years!

Since Israel could not take Syria down by dividing the nation in a revolution, it will do it this way, one attack at a time.
That is stupid talk because it is obvious Israel fears flying in Syrian airspace after Syria shot down an Israeli F35 and a F16
