The airstrike is the fourth alleged Israeli strike on Syria in the past month.
Four Syrian soldiers were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike that targeted sites in Homs in western Syria on Tuesday night, according to Syrian state news agency SANA. Material damage was also caused in the airstrikes.
According to SANA, the airstrikes were carried out from northeast of Beirut. The report claimed that most of the missiles were shot down by Syrian air defenses.
The airstrikes come exactly a week after the IDF fired two missiles from the Golan Heights towards an empty building south of Damascus.
One of the missiles was shot down and no losses were caused, according to the report. It is unclear whether the missiles were fired from an aircraft or were surface-to-surface ones.
A week before that strike, two Syrian soldiers were injured and material damage was caused in an alleged Israeli airstrike targeting sites in the Homs area.
Over the past year, while Israeli strikes have intensified in Syria, the response time by Syrian air defense batteries has become quicker, leading the IAF to change how it acts during such operations – including by having larger formations so that more targets can be struck at once during an operation instead of having jets return to the same target over again.
Iran has begun deploying advanced anti-aircraft missile batteries to the region in an attempt to challenge Israeli jets.
