...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, targeting a number of military positions in the central region,
Syrian state media (SANA) reported citing military sources.

The strike resulted in the injury of four soldiers and some material damage, according to SANA.

UK-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the strike targeted a missile depot at a military base about five kilometers from Shayrat airbase in Homs.

Seven fighters, including three members of the pro-Iran militia groups, were injured in the strike, according to SOHR.
