DAMASCUS (Reuters) – An Israeli attack targeted an industrial zone and some residential buildings in the town of Qusayr in Homs province in central Syria on Tuesday, Syrian state TV reported.
The outlet quoted the Homs province’s health director as saying there were no injuries as a result of the attack.
A previous “Israeli aggression” on Qusayr on Thursday wounded a number of civilians and caused material damage, state media reported.
Israel’s military, which typically does not comment on specific reports of strikes in Syria, said in a statement in reference to that attack that it had hit weapons storage facilities and command centres used by militant group Hezbollah.
Israel says it has been carrying out strikes to reduce the transfer of weapons from Iran through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
