Syria pro-government radio reports 1 killed, 3 hurt in Israeli drone strike near Hama
A Syrian pro-government radio station is reporting that an Israeli drone strike on a car in central Syria killed one person and wounded three.
It was not immediately clear who was the target of the airstrike near the central city of Hama, which was reported by pro-government Sham FM radio. It doesn’t give further details, though other reports indicated it was an attack by Syrian rebels.
There is no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Israel regularly carries out airstrikes inside government-controlled parts of war-torn Syria but rarely acknowledges them. When it has, it says it targets Iranian-backed groups or Hezbollah weapons shipments.
