Four troops were wounded late on August 8 when a series of Israeli strikes hit military sites in central Syria, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported, citing a military official.
The unnamed official told the state-run news agency that the strikes also caused “material losses,” without further elaborating.
Earlier, Syrian media reported explosions at the Shayrat Air Base in the eastern countryside of Homs. Video footage posted to social networks showed a series of large blasts close to the base, which was targeted by Israel on multiple occasions in the past.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanese Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
Just a week earlier, Israeli strikes hit a convoy of trucks entering Lebanon from the western countryside of Homs in Syria. A civilian was wounded.
Recent Israeli strikes on Syria claimed the lives of more than 20 civilians. Still, the war-torn country has so far refrained from directly responding in what appears to be an attempt to avoid a dangerous confrontation with Israel.

what russia did with syria will be marked as treason by independent historians in the future . they helped assad regime to survive but they didn’t allowed syria to win, to defeat western proxies and to liberate occupied territories, namely golan heigths and omar fields. they are bleeding syrian people to death, helping illegal immigration to europe and call it a deal. stupid putin lavrov clowns, they are like stalin molotov. russia is a shithole. betraying allies, pleasing enemies.
and that’s why russia has no allies. even armenia got it that russian presence is counterproductive. belarus will follow soon.
you’re so wrong high speed.
south front can’t deny the reality. you can only brainwash people to some point. now it is crystal clear what russians are doing with their allies, throwing them under the bus. americans are doing the same, but at least they are not protecting their enemies. sometimes give some little cookies to their obeying servants. but not in russia. you only get tears, pain and treating like animals.. all their money are being spent on pleasing enemies and putin’s lavish luxury life..
the captured ukrainian troops don’t think that russian’s are treating them like animals. quite the opposite. many are surprised just how good the treatment is that they are getting from russian forces. almost all are grateful that they escaped the us/nato suicide grinder and are now under russian protection.
assad is a murderer but better than israel
wake up! you’re dreaming. look what you did to the sheets.
there is no ‘assad regime’. president assad was voted into office with a majority not seen in any european or us elections ever. president putin, along with his allies are playing the long game. the us and its nato poodles cannot play the long game because they haven’t the military or the resources or the economies to handle it. the day of reckoning for the us and its nato poodles will come by their own hand via the financial system.
russia supposes to defend the area. instead, it collaborates with the jewish regime to commit acts of terrorism.
