Syria says Israeli raid targeted outposts in Homs FMTNews FMTWorld
AMMAN: Israel targeted outposts in Syria’s Homs province in a raid early today, the Syrian defence ministry said, while western intelligence sources said the strikes hit a series of air bases in the central region of the country where Iranian personnel are based.
Israel launched “an aerial aggression from the direction of northwest Beirut targeting some outposts in Homs city and its countryside at 12.35am”, the Syrian defence ministry said in a statement on state media. Iranian military personnel alongside fighters from Lebanon’s Hezbollah are stationed at both airports and there is a strong presence of pro-Iranian militias in that area of Homs province, the sources said.Syria denies western and Israeli allegations that Iran, whose top military officials frequently visit Syria, has an extensive military presence in the country.
Israel has for years carried out attacks against what it has described as Iran-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran’s influence has grown since it began supporting President Bashar al-Assad in the conflict that began in 2011 following a brutal crackdown of peaceful demonstrators.
