Israeli missiles hit Syria’s Tartus, injures two civilians
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Saturday, Israel targeted sites south of the Syrian coastal governorate of Tartus, wounding two civilians.
The State-run News Agency SANA cited a military source as saying, “At about 06:30 am on Saturday morning, Israeli aggression launched several airstrikes from above the Mediterranean Sea west of Tripoli, hitting poultries on the outskirts of the town of al- Hamidiyah south of Tartus. As a result two civilians, including a woman, were injured, and material losses were reported.”
So far, Israel has not commented on the attack.
On June 10, Israel targeted Damascus International Airport, causing heavy damages to the airstrips, navigational lights and a hall inside the airport.
Israel announced that the airstrike thwarted some 70% of missiles’ smuggling from Iran to both Lebanon and Syria, according to Israeli reports.
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes inside Syria over the past few years targeting what it says Iranian-backed militia’s strongholds.
