Syrian air defense systems intercepted Sunday morning an Israeli drone heading toward the western countryside of Homs in light of escalating Israeli airstrikes on Syrian territories.
Earlier today, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the Wadi Hanna area in al-Qusayr, near a Syrian Army checkpoint in the Homs countryside. According to the report, loud explosions were heard across the city of Homs, accompanied by intense barrages of anti-aircraft missiles.
This latest strike comes amid an escalation of Israeli attacks on various regions in Syria, coinciding with increased Israeli aggression on Lebanon. Tensions have been particularly high along the Syrian-Lebanese border, where Israeli aircraft launched attacks near Lebanese areas in the country's east.
The sounds of explosions and anti-aircraft fire were also reported in areas such as al-Qusayr, Jousiyah, Qalamoun, and Kfeir Yabous near the border, extending to the northern countryside of Quneitra, near Mount Hermon, parallel to Lebanon's western Beqaa region.
In a separate incident yesterday, an Israeli airstrike killed a man and his wife when their home in Beit Saber, located in Mount Hermon in the Damascus countryside, was hit.
This surge in Israeli air raids continues to provoke regional instability, with both Syria and Lebanon bearing the brunt of the aggression.
Earlier on Friday, the Syrian Ministry of Defense reported that the Israeli occupation carried out an aggression from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights, targeting a Syrian military site near the village of Kefar Yabous in the Damascus countryside.
On September 9, an Israeli aggression targeting the vicinity of the city of Masyaf in the western Hama countryside resulted in the deaths of 18 civilians and left dozens more injured.
Syria has asserted that the continuous attacks by occupation forces on its territory demonstrate that aggressive Israeli policies could escalate tensions in the region, potentially resulting in a comprehensive conflict that endangers both regional and international peace and security.
