More attempted deliveries of Iranian weapons heading toward Hezbollah, no doubt. [IsraelTimes] Israeli strikes on the Syrian capital Damascus and a military site near the western city of Homs early on Thursday killed one soldier and injured seven, the Syrian defense ministry says.The attacks targeted the central Damascus neighborhood of Kafr Sousa and a military site in the Homs countryside, the ministry says in a statement, adding the strikes caused "material damage" without elaborating. Earlier, Syrian state media said explosions were heard in Damascus after Israel struck a residential building in Kafr Sousa.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the strike in Damascus killed an “unidentified person” and injured three others, adding that Syrian air defense systems failed to activate against the missiles. Israel has carried out 121 strikes on Syrian territory since the beginning of the year, killing 261 combatants and wounding 188 more, according to the Observatory that relies on a network of on-the-ground sources in the country.
