A series of Israeli strikes hit Hassia industrial city in the southern countryside of Syria’s Homs governorate on October 6, with reports of casualties.
Syria’s Al-Watan reported that strikes targeted three vehicles carrying aid close to a car plant in the city. Citing a local official, the pro-government newspaper denied that the plant, which is allegedly owned by an Iranian company, was also targeted.
Iraqi activists claimed that the targeted vehicles belonged to the Iraqi Red Crescent and said that they were distributing aid for refugees from Lebanon. Later, the Sabreen news channel on Telegram, which is close to Iran-backed armed factions in Iraq, reported that the strikes killed a person and wounded three others. The channel didn’t clarify if Iraqis or Lebanese were among the casualties.
Israel escalated its attacks on Syria significantly since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip last October, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
The Israeli military announced earlier this week that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.
At least three separate Israeli attacks hit Syria on October 5. Two of the attacks targeted Homs, which lies in central Syria between Lebanon and Iraq. There were also reports of a fourth attack on the eastern governorate of Deir Ezzor, which is located on the border with Iraq, although some Syrian activists attributed that attack to the United States.
