Israel has launched air raids on outposts in Syria’s Homs province, wounding at least five soldiers.
According to the Syrian Ministry of Defence, the raids early on Sunday were the third in recent days, including an attack on Friday that killed two military advisers with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanani, said in a statement on Sunday that the two IRGC members died fighting “terrorism” supported by Israel and that Israel had violated Syrian sovereignty and international law, reports Al Jazeera.
“It is obvious that the blood of these eminent martyrs will not be wasted and in addition to politically and legally pursuing these violating and criminal actions, the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to respond at an appropriate time and place to the terrorism of the fake Israeli regime,” he said.
Israel launched “an aerial aggression from the direction of northwest Beirut, targeting some outposts in Homs city and its countryside at 00:35 am” (21:35 GMT on Saturday) and Syrian air defences had intercepted some of the missiles.
A Syrian military source told state media that the attacks caused some material damage and injured five military personnel.
