Israeli Strikes

DAMASCUS, Dec 26 (NNN-SANA) – A total of six pro-government fighters were killed, during an Israeli strike that targeted positions in central Syria after midnight, a war monitor reported.

The Israeli missile strike targeted defence factories, where a scientific research centre is located, in the city of Masyaf, in the west of Hama province, in central Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Britain-based watchdog group said, the strike destroyed weapon depots run by Iranian fighters.

For its side, the Syrian army said, Syrian air defences intercepted most of the missiles fired on Masyaf.

Throughout the Syrian crisis, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against Syrian military sites, including Iranian targets.
