A wave of Israeli strikes hit the Syrian governorates of Homs and Hamas early on October 10, targeting a car plant, an aid convoy and a military site.
In a statement to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, a Syrian military official said that the strikes were launched from the direction of northern Lebanon and targeted a car plant in the Hassia industrial city in the southern countryside of Homs as well as a military site in Hama. The official noted that the strikes resulted in material losses only.
The Syrian state TV reported later that the strikes also hit an aid convoy which was parked near the car plant -owned by an Iranian company- and revealed that the military site targeted in Hamas is located close to the town of Maarin in the southern countryside of the governorate.
It’s worth noting that Israeli drones struck three vehicles carrying aids for refugees from Lebanon near the same car plant on October 6.
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 IDF announced after escalating operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon last month that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.
A day earlier, an Israeli drone strike hit the southern Syrian city of al-Qunitra, killing a member of the country’s internal security forces and wounding two others. Later, the IDF alleged that the slain officer, Adham Jahout, was a member of Hezbollah.
Jahout “passed information from Syrian regime officials to the Hezbollah organization,” as well as other information it gathered along the border to target the Golan Heights, the military said in a statement.
The statement marked a rare IDF confirmation of Israeli operations in Syria, as it generally avoids publicly claiming its activity there.

playing whack a mole from the air will not win the war. i hear that anti israel recruitment is going into overdrive. you can thank nobody except israel for that.
rabbid rabbis gonna deep rabbidly until they start to bury their congregations in whole, while in parts… then they’ll go full-on-victim mode, but the whole world will be so sick of their bullshit and genocide, and too busy treating the victims of zionist aggression to give a flying monkey fuck about the dead israelis…
the khazar bea$t lashes out at civilians and civilian infrastructure as it gets hammered on all fronts by the gallant resistance to this evil zionazi abomination rump “state”. the end is coming soon for these demons. who will want them back in their former europeon and ussan ghettos? that’s inevitable after these creatures fouled up the entire m.e since they were shipped there over the past century.
this is what happens when the biden/harris psychopaths and the israeli psychopath spend american tax money on bombs and propaganda
at least we know iran humiliated israel,why else would they strike defenseless areas. good thing syria has friends like russia to count on, think how bad or better it could be without russia.
the izzies have been bombing syria with impunity for well over a decade without declaring war and just because they can. perhaps it is time for russia to declare a no-fly zone over syria for the izzie air force and start shooting down some fighter jets. remember, the izzies are nothing without their air force and bringing terror from the sky.
where are the supporters of ukraine’s right to sovereignity?
strike them back for god sake.
all those s-300 missiles get rusted? russians brought iskander launchers to take pictures?
these zionuts are a really asking for it aren’t they? and they’ll deserve everything that’s coming to them too.
while syria’s so called ally, russia has seen nothing, heard nothing about their zio nazi terrorist jewscum god
