Missile lands in Lebanon during Israeli strike on Syria

A Syrian interception missile landed overnight in the forests of the Zgharta town of Miryata during an Israeli airstrike on the Shuairat airport in central Syria, media reports said.

The missile hit the area without exploding, the reports said.

Four Syrian army soldiers were injured in the Israeli airstrike, Syrian state media reported.

Syrian state news agency SANA, citing an unnamed military source, said strikes targeted “a number of military points in the central region.”

The UK-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported explosions near a military airport in the countryside of Homs province that were “likely caused by an Israeli targeting of weapons storage warehouses.”

There was no immediate statement from Israel, which frequently targets the sites of the Syrian army and Iran-backed groups in Syria but rarely announces the strikes.
