s attributed to Israel, according to satellite images released by a private Israeli intelligence firm.
Syria’s official news agency SANA said the attack occurred near the town of Masyaf and that the missiles were fired from Lebanese territory.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-Syrian opposition organization, claimed the strikes hit positions of Iran-backed militias and killed at least six foreign paramilitaries.

The claim could not be verified. It said the strikes targeted the Iran-backed groups’ arms depots and facilities for manufacturing short-range missiles.
According to the satellite imagery analysis company ImageSat International, the airstrikes Friday destroyed four weapons production buildings "that were probably used for mixing and casting components of missile engines and warheads."
The targets appeared to be part of a factory complex whose primary mission is the production of "missile engines, rockets and warheads," the satellite company said, citing open-source reports. One of the destroyed buildings had been rebuilt following a previous attack, the company indicated.
Before-and-after images from the site show a destroyed series of structures in the airstrikes.

’s regime that includes a military academy and a scientific research center. The general area around Masyaf, which is also believed to have a major Iranian presence, has reportedly been targeted by Israel many times in the past.
The News Agency that Dare Not be Named said Israeli jets flew very low over parts of 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...

The Syrian Ministry of Defense issued a statement Friday saying Israel "launched an aggression by directing a barrage of rockets" from the north of the Lebanese city of Tripoli

toward the Masyaf area.
It said Syrian air defenses "confronted the enemy missiles and intercepted most of them." Syrian war analysts generally dismiss the military’s regular claims of interceptions as false, empty boasts.
Syrian state TV aired footage purporting to show air defenses responding to the Israeli attack.
The missiles, which were fired from Lebanese airspace, hit positions held by Iran-backed militias in the Masyaf district of Hama province, Observatory chief Rami Abdul Rahman said.
One also targeted a government-run research centre, where surface-to-surface missiles are developed and stored, the Britannia-based watchdog said.
Iranian experts are believed to work in the research centre.
