News - Middle East: Israeli warplanes have carried out another act of aggression against Syria, targeting positions in the countryside of the central province of Homs.

Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that Israeli military aircraft launched an assault on the Shinshar area in the southern countryside of the province on Monday afternoon.

The report added that the aerial assault hit an aid-gathering center for displaced Lebanese south of the city of Homs.

The main highway linking the capital Damascus to Homs was temporarily cut off as a result of the Israeli strike. 

Details on potential human or material losses have yet to be disclosed.

The Israeli regime continues its airstrikes on the country alongside its bloody onslaughts in Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on Gaza, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, after Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, against the regime on October 7, 2023.

More than 43,600 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while nearly 103,000 individuals have sustained injuries.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, at least 3,189 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Arab country since October 2023, including 24 dead and several injured in the past 24 hours.

Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.

The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.

Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
