Syria's Homs city under second aerial attack by Israeli aircraft within a week
In the heart of the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict during the Syrian civil war, Israeli airstrikes on the central Syrian province of Homs have become a recurring event. The latest attack, originating from the al-Tanf area, an intersection of the Syrian, Iraqi, and Jordanian borders, resulted in the death of one soldier and injury of three others, as reported by local sources.
The Israeli regime has been conducting attacks against the positions of the Syrian military and its allies since 2011, with a focus on military and strategic sites linked to Iranian-backed militias and Hezbollah. In 2020, these strikes intensified, primarily targeting critical infrastructure in and around Homs.

The target of the latest attack was a communications tower and some of its surrounding areas, according to the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). In a similar incident at the end of March 2020, Israeli raids hit Al-Qusayr and Shayrat Military Airbases, including the Hezbollah headquarters near the Homs refinery, resulting in the death of one Syrian soldier and injuries to others.
The Israeli military often conducts precision strikes on weapons depots, military bases, and operatives linked to Iran and its proxies, as part of a broader strategic effort to limit Iran’s influence in Syria and deny it a foothold close to Israeli borders. The ongoing conflict has resulted in casualties among militia fighters and soldiers, but large-scale civilian casualties have been avoided, particularly in the Homs region.
It is important to note that the Golan Heights, the site of several of these attacks, has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. The Israeli regime has been providing refuge and medical treatment to Takfiri terrorists fleeing Syrian military advances towards the Golan Heights.
