Syria says Israeli airstrikes on military targets injure two soldiers

[IsraelTimes] Attack near eastern city of Deir el-Zour causes material damage, Syrian state media says, two days after alleged strike on Iranian weapons shipment near Damascus

Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in Syria injured two soldiers late Monday night, Syrian state media said.

The airstrikes hit military targets near the eastern Syrian city of Deir el-Zour, causing material damage, according to Syria’s official news agency, SANA.

The reported airstrikes came two days after an alleged Israeli attack near Damascus against an Iranian weapons shipment that appeared to be making its way to Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
Sunday’s airstrikes were reported by news sites affiliated with the Syrian opposition and were not confirmed by state media.

The strikes targeting sites belonging to the Syrian army and pro-Iranian militia groups took place in al-Dimas, just west of Damascus, the reports said.

There were no reports of casualties, and it was not clear the extent of the damage caused by the alleged strikes.

As a rule, the IDF does not comment on specific strikes in Syria, though it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country, over the last decade.

The military says it attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group. Additionally, airstrikes attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.
