The incident was the fourth airstrike attributed to Israel to hit targets in Syria in less than a week, and came a day after the Israeli Air Force downed a suspected Iranian drone in Israeli airspace.
"At 00:15 the Israeli enemy carried out an airstrike... and the attack resulted in the death of two civilians," the Syrian state news agency SANA said, quoting a military source.

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.

The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...border fence using a ladder. One man was seriously maimed in the attack.
