Overview

• Syria’s Foreign Ministry called the overnight attacks a blatant violation of sovereignty and urged the UN Security Council to act.
• The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported strikes on a Syrian air force base near Homs and a barracks in Latakia with no immediate casualty figures.
• Israel has not officially confirmed responsibility for the strikes, consistent with its usual policy of limited public comment on such operations.
• An unnamed Israeli security official told Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath the operation hit missile warehouses and recently moved Turkish-made air-defence systems near Homs.
• Monitors say Israeli operations in Syria have intensified since the Assad government fell, with nearly 100 attacks recorded this year.
