State media has reported a series of strikes on government targets in northern Syria but has not said who was responsible. The report comes weeks after the US, UK and France launched strikes against military bases.
“Enemy missiles” hit several military outposts in northern Syria, state media reported early on Monday without identifying who had launched the attack.
SANA, Syria’s state-run news agency, said the strikes hit bases in Hama and Aleppo provinces overnight. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, confirmed the attacks and said at least 26 pro-government fighters, most of them Iranians, had been killed in Hama. It said four Syrians were also killed.
Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said the Hama strike targeted a depot for surface-to-surface missiles at a base known as Brigade 47. “Given the nature of the target, it is likely to have been an Israeli strike,” he said.
Israel’s Intelligence Minister Israel Katz did not comment on the strikes, but said only that Israel “has made it unequivocally clear at all levels that it will not allow an Iranian front in Syria to be established.”
