The alleged Israeli strikes in central Syria have killed at least five people and wounded at least 19, including some in serious condition, according to a local hospital director in the Masyaf area cited by state news agency SANA.

The Masyaf area, west of Hama, is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias, and has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks widely attributed to Israel.

It contains the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS or SSRC, which according to Israel is used by Iranian forces to manufacture precision surface-to-surface missiles.
