Syria says five killed, 7 hurt in Israeli airstrikes in northwest

[IsraelTimes] State media claims a large number of missiles launched by jets over Masyaf; footage shows fire at site in area thought controlled by Iran-backed forces
Five people were killed and seven others were hurt in an alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
on Friday night in northwestern Syria, the country’s state news agency said.
... and if you can't believe the state news agency who can you believe?
It was the second alleged Israeli strike on the country in days, after missiles were reportedly launched at a site just across the border from Israel in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday.
The state-run SANA said a large number of missiles were launched by Israeli fighter jets over Masyaf during the Friday night strike.
SANA quoted an unidentified Syrian military official as saying most of the missiles were intercepted.
The Syrian military claims to shoot down incoming missiles after nearly every alleged Israeli strike, which Israeli military officials and civilian defense analysts largely dismiss as empty boasts.
According to SANA, one of those killed is a civilian, meaning the other four were military forces. The network said seven other people, including a child, were hurt in the airstrikes.
Damage was also caused to a site in the area, SANA said, without elaborating further. Footage posted to social media apparently showed a site that was hit multiple times by the Israeli missiles, with fire rising from the area.
The Masyaf area 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 attributed to Israel. The area was struck allegedly by Israel as recently as last month.
The area is also home to a facility belonging to the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS, which itself has been struck several times in the past.
Western officials have long associated CERS with the manufacture of chemical arms. According to the United States, sarin gas was developed at that center, a charge denied by the Syrian authorities.
There was no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces, which does not normally comment on individual strikes.
