Israeli airstrikes in central Syria late Sunday have killed more than a dozen people and injured at least 40 others, state-run Syrian news agency SANA reported Monday.
SANA said there had been several explosions and “air defense engagements” in the central region of Syria, including in the Tartous and Hama governorates, that resulted in multiple civilian casualties.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it did not comment “on reports in the foreign media,” when asked by CNN about the reports.
The Director of the National Hospital in Masyaf, Dr. Faisal Haidar, told SANA that the death toll near the city of Masyaf, in Hama governorate, had risen to 14 killed and at least 43 people injured, 6 of whom are in critical condition.
The Syrian news agency cited a military source as saying “the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of northwest Lebanon, targeting a number of military sites in the central region” shortly before 8.30 p.m. local time on Sunday.
The source said Syrian air defenses had intercepted and shot down some of the missiles.
SANA said the strikes had damaged the Wadi al-Uyun highway in Masyaf and caused a blaze that firefighters were working to control.
