Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, citing a military source, says several sites in central Syria were targeted in an Israeli airstrike this evening, causing injuries to seven civilians.
The report claims that Syrian air defenses shot down some of the Israeli missiles, launched by fighter jets from over northern Lebanon, while others impacted the targets.
The airstrike caused “material losses,” SANA adds.
Earlier reports suggested that the airstrikes took place near Hama.
