Israeli jets target ex-Syrian army outposts in Homs, security sources say
The IDF targeted former Syrian army outposts in the central Homs province, two security sources said on Tuesday.
The jets bombed army fortifications in the villages of Shinshar and Shamsin south of Homs city in central Syria, the sources said.
The military did not immediately comment on Tuesday’s strikes, but it previously reported similar attacks, which it said targeted military headquarters and sites containing weapons and equipment.
Defensive operations in Syria
Last week, IDF troops located, confiscated, and dismantled numerous weapons in Syria while the military continued defensive operations at strategic points, the military announced.
Soldiers in the Paratroopers Brigade, the Armored Corps, and the special forces Yahalom unit under the command of Brigade 474 conducted “targeted raids” in Syria, according to the IDF.
The troops destroyed rifles, ammunition, missiles, and additional military equipment.
The statement added that the IDF will “continue operations to eliminate any threat and strengthen the defense of the State of Israel and its citizens.”
On Monday, the military reported that it had targeted military infrastructure in southern Syria, including military headquarters and sites containing weapons and military equipment from the former Syrian regime.
The strikes were reportedly in the vicinity of the southern Syrian province of Daraa.
