Four soldiers injured in Israeli aggression on central Syria
At least four Syrian soldiers have been injured when Israeli aircraft conducted strikes on several military installations and buildings in central Syria.
Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that the Israeli aerial assault occurred at approximately 8:55 p.m. local time (1755 GMT) on Thursday.
The report added that the attack originated from the direction of northern Lebanon, resulting in injuries to four soldiers and causing material damage. However, the report did not specify the exact area that was targeted.
Earlier, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed that seven people were wounded after Israeli airstrikes targeted a missile depot near the Shayrat Airbase in Syria’s central province of Homs.
The Britain-based war monitor reported that successive explosions were heard at the targeted site for nearly an hour, with fires visible in the area.

The Israeli airstrike against the crisis-hit Arab nation comes amid the regime’s bloody onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the coastal territory, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, since Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7.
At least 39,699 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while another 91,722 individuals have sustained injuries.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.
Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
