Israel bombed targets in Homs area, Syria

The Syrian army says Israel has struck targets in Homs province, just north of Lebanon, killing or injuring a number of people. 

Syrian air defences shot down Israeli missiles, Syrian state media say.

The attacks targeted Shuyrat air base and other sites near the city of Homs, a Syrian military source was reported.

 According to the post, several civilians have been killed or wounded in the Israeli aggression, with state-owned and private facilities being damaged.

The ministry did not specify the number of casualties though.

Earlier, the Syrian government newspaper Al Watan reported that the Israeli military had delivered strikes on central Syria.
