Syrian Air Defense attempts to confront Israeli missiles, explosion reported in Baniyas
|
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Air Force fired several missiles at the Wadi al-’Ayoun area of the Masyaf District, today, hitting a number of sites.
According to a military source in nearby Mhardeh, at least five missiles struck the Wadi al-’Ayoun area, causing a number of powerful kabooms that could be heard throughout Hama, eastern Latakia, and eastern Tartous.
The source said that the Syrian Air Defense attempted to foil the attack; however, the Israeli missiles managed to reach their intended targets.
Furthermore, a powerful kaboom was reported from the large coastal city of Baniyas in the Tartous Governorate.
Israel carried out airstrikes against Iranian military targets in the Syrian provinces of Hama and Tartus on Tuesday, killing three people and wounding 23, a monitoring group said.
Syrian state media confirmed the Israeli attack and said one person was killed and four injured. However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three Syrian soldiers were killed and 23 people injured — 14 Syrian and nine Iranians.
The Observatory said the strike targeted Iranian assets between the town of Masyaf and Wadi al-Uyun.
Last Thursday, satellite photos published by an Israeli intelligence firm purported to show the establishment of an Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in the area of Wadi al-Uyun.
The photos, which were shared by ImageSat International, were said to show a facility resembling Iran’s Parchin facility, which has been linked to the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs.
Masyaf is also home to a Syrian scientific research center which Israel is alleged to have struck several times in recent years.
Western officials have long associated the Scientific Studies and Research Center near Masyaf, known as CERS, with the manufacture of chemical arms.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights head Rami Abderahman said the attack had also targeted around the coastal city of Baniyas for the first time, with two rockets hitting around one kilometre from an oil refinery.
SANA said the planes had come at a low altitude from west of neighbouring Lebanon's coastal capital Beirut.
Al-Mayadeen news said Israeli fighter planes released countermeasures against anti-aircraft fire "and withdrew towards the sea at the same time as the sounds of explosions were heard in Hama countryside."
