Israel Launches Airstrike on Qusair in Central Syria Amid Ongoing Tensions
An Israeli airstrike targeted the Qusair region in central Syria today, according to Syrian state media SANA. The area, located near the Lebanese border, has a notable presence of Hezbollah. Syrian air defense systems reportedly activated in response to what they termed ‘enemy targets’ in the sky. Israel asserts that these strikes aim to disrupt arms transfers from Iran to Hezbollah, which are prevalent in Qusair. The Israeli military has not commented on the incident but has carried out numerous operations in Syria linked to Iran, intensifying actions following the severe Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
