Israel carried out a rare daylight Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
along the southern Syrian coast on Saturday morning, Syria’s state-run broadcaster SANA said. injuring two people.
There was no comment from the Israel Defense Forces, in line with its policy of not generally commenting on air raids in the country.
Quoting a military source, SANA said the missiles were launched by Israeli fighter jets over the Mediterranean Sea, west of the north Lebanon city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, at the Syrian town of al-Hamidiyah, south of Tartus.
According to SANA, "poultry farms" were targeted in the airstrike, and two civilians were hurt. Their conditions were not immediately clear. Damage was also caused to the site.
Syria often claims targets of Israeli strikes as being non-military.
Israel has staged hundreds of strikes on targets in Syria over the years but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. It says it targets bases of Iran-allied militias, such as Lebanon’s  Hezbollah group that has fighters deployed in Syria, as well as arms shipments believed to be bound for various proxies.
While alleged Israeli attacks in Syria typically take place under the cover of darkness, Saturday’s strike was allegedly conducted at around 6:30 a.m. while the sun was out, according to SANA.
Israeli strikes have continued in Syrian airspace, which is largely controlled by Russia, even as ties with Moscow have deteriorated in recent months. Israel has found itself at odds with Russia as it has increasingly supported Ukraine while seeking to maintain freedom of movement in Syria’s skies.
Saturday’s strike marked the first such raid attributed to Israel under Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who entered the role on Friday morning.
The last strike in Syria attributed to Israel was on June 10, when the Damascus International Airport was targeted in a major attack and forced to be shuttered for two weeks, following accusations by Israel that Iran
 ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
had been smuggling weaponry to the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group, via civilian flights to Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based opposition group of unclear funding, said Saturday’s strike targeted weapons en route to the Hezbollah. The claim was not confirmed by any other organizations.
While alleged Israeli attacks in Syria typically take place under the cover of darkness, Saturday’s alleged strike was conducted at around 6:30 a.m., during daylight hours.
Video footage broadcast by SANA showed rubble at what it said was the site of the targeted facility.
An Israeli airstrike targeted suspected Hezbollah posts in Syria's coastal Tartus province on Saturday morning, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Observatory said the facility that was struck, near Lebanon's border, had formerly been used to keep farm animals but was now being used by Lebanon's Hezbollah for military and commercial purposes.
"The Israeli enemy carried out an air strike" at about 6:30 am near the town of al-Hamidiyah, the ministry said in a statement, identifying the locations hit as poultry farms, without elaborating.
The strike "led to the injury of two civilians, including a woman," the ministry said in a statement.
Al-Hamidiyah is located south of Tartus, a bastion of the Syrian government and home to a naval port used by Russia, whose armed forces have backed the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the airstrike on Saturday targeted "warehouses formerly used to raise animals, and which the Lebanese Hezbollah group was using to transport weapons."
Syrian air defense systems do not appear to have been deployed, said the British-based monitor, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria.
Alleged Israeli strike in Syria targeted ‘game changing’ Iranian air defenses — TV
[IsraelTimes] After airstrike Saturday morning, unsourced report names IRGC commander allegedly leading ‘new effort’ to deploy Iranian systems in Syria
An airstrike Saturday in Syria that was attributed to Israel targeted Iranian attempts to bring “game changing” air defense systems to Syria, Israeli television reported.
According to Channel 12 news, the location of the morning strike, which hit the Syrian town of al-Hamidiyah near the port city of Tartus, “implies that it [targeted] a weapon transported by sea, possibly using Iranian ships that docked at the port last week.”
The report added that the strike came amid “a new move by the Iranians in Syria to bring in air defense system to protect their military interests.”
The network provided no source for the assessment.
Military officials have said in the past that Syria has improved its air defense capabilities with upgraded Iranian-made components. In a 2018 strike, Israel reportedly targeted a soon-to-be-deployed Iranian advanced air defense system.
Channel 12 said Saturday that this “new effort” was being led by a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in cooperation with the Syrian army, with the aim of enabling Tehran to operate its own air defense systems in Syria.
The network named the IRGC officer as Farid Mahmads Sakai, saying “it’s no coincidence his name is being published now.” No details were provided on where the officer’s name was published nor any further information on his rank and position.
Israel has staged hundreds of strikes on targets in Syria over the years but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. It says it targets bases of Iran and allied militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group that has fighters deployed in Syria, as well as arms shipments believed to be bound for various proxies.
In another unsourced report, Channel 12 said two explosions occurred at an IRGC base southeast of Tehran, causing “extensive damage” on Friday night.
There has been no official comment on the incident, which was widely circulated on social media and picked up by the opposition supporting Iran International, which is based in London.
