CAIRO (Reuters) – An Israeli airstrike targeted three cars carrying medical and relief materials in the industrial city in Syria’s Homs, the Syrian state news agency reported on Sunday, adding that material damage was reported.
The state news agency quoted the head of the industrial city in a town of Homs as saying that no factories were targeted inside the city and that the sound of the blast was a result of the Israeli strike.
Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years but has ramped up such raids since last year’s Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian group Hamas on Israeli territory that sparked the Gaza war.
