In a late-night airstrike on June 26, Israeli forces targeted several locations in southern Syria, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and the injury of a Syrian serviceman, according to a statement from the Syrian Defense Ministry. 

The attack occurred around 23:40 local time (2040 GMT) and was launched from the occupied Golan Heights, the ministry reported.

Syrian air defense systems were activated in response to the incoming missiles and managed to intercept some of them. However, the strike still inflicted casualties and caused material damage.

"At approximately 23:40 [2040 GMT] on June 26, the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the side of the occupied Golan Heights, striking a number of posts in the southern region," the ministry said.

"Our air defense systems responded to enemy missiles and shot down some of them. As a result of the aggression, two people were killed and one serviceman was wounded," the ministry added.

The attack also resulted in material damage, though the extent and specifics of the damage were not detailed in the ministry's statement.

Repeated offenses

The Israeli occupation forces carry out routine attacks on Syria, violating its sovereignty and often that of Lebanon as the airstrikes are launched from its airspace.

The Syrian air defense systems are actively repelling a missile attack in the vicinity of Homs in western Syria, state news agency SANA reported in late May.

An Israeli aggression targeted a residential neighborhood in the Syrian city of Baniyas on the Mediterranean coast, resulting in some civilian injuries, according to SANA. 

Additionally, an Al Mayadeen correspondent in Syria confirmed that Syrian air defenses intercepted hostile targets in the sky over the city of Homs. "Syrian air defenses intercepted hostile targets in the skies over the city of Homs," the correspondent reported.

A Syrian military source confirmed to SANA that a little girl was killed and 10 civilians were injured in an aerial attack by the Israeli forces on the city of Baniyas, located in Tartus Governorate in western Syria.

Such acts of aggression are commonplace in Syria, with the Israeli occupation continuously violating the country's airspace and bombarding its soil.
