Four injured in Israeli attack on Syria: Syrian state media
Syrian state media has now reported on the air raid blamed on Israel we mentioned earlier, saying that four military personnel had been injured. The state media report said that an Israeli air raid had targeted Syria’s central region.
According to local media reports, the Israeli air strikes targeted an ammunition depot southeast of Homs, in the vicinity of al-Shayrat Airport.
Loud noises continued following the strikes as a result of the continued explosion of the ammunition.
A number of civilian casualties have also been reported in a village near the airport, due to material being launched from the ammunition depot as a result of the explosions.
The airport has been used by the Russian air force since late 2015.
