Syrian media outlets report an apparent Israeli airstrike in the area of Homs, in northern Syria.

The pro-government Sham FM radio says air defenses are engaging “hostile missiles” over the area.

It says some missiles impacted areas near al-Qusayr, south of Homs, causing a fire.

There are no immediate reports of casualties as a result of the strike.

The IDF does not comment on the reports.

Israel is reported to have ramped up strikes on targets belonging to Iran and Iran-backed groups in Syria in recent months, amid the war in the Gaza Strip.
