DAMASCUS, June 24 (NNN-SANA) – Israel launched strikes at military bases in southern and eastern Syria on Tuesday evening, killing two soldiers and wounding four others.
The strikes targeted a military site in Kabajeb, west of the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, and the Sukhneh area in the remote eastern countryside of Homs province, as well as, the Salkhad area in the southern countryside of the southern province of Sweida, said the report.
Citing a military source, the report said that “hostile aerial targets” fired the missiles, which triggered off the Syrian air defences.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, Israeli shelling targeted the military sites that belong to “the Iranian militias” in the countryside of Sweida and Deir al-Zour.
The UK-based watchdog group said the Syrian air defences were responding to the attacks.
Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria, as well as, convoys transporting weapons to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allegedly backed by Iran.
