Explosion at factory in Homs blamed on Israel
[GEO.TV] A blast was heard in a factory in the Syrian city of Homs, the state news agency reported on Sunday, adding that the cause is still being investigated.

The state news agency also reports that an Israeli airstrike targeted three cars carrying medical and relief materials in Syria's Homs.

Israeli strikes intercepted by Syrian air defence in Homs province
[GEO.TV] Syrian air defence was intercepting 'hostile targets' in the country's central region on Sunday evening, state media said.

"Our air defence systems are intercepting hostile targets in the airspace of the central region" of the country, the official SANA news agency said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor reported "Israeli strikes" causing explosions in Homs province, central Syria.
The Times of Israel adds:
Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, citing a military source, says the Israeli Air Force carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in central Syria this evening.

The report says Israeli warplanes targeted several military sites in central Syria, launching missiles from over northern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? 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...
. It claims Syria’s air defenses were activated by the attack.

The strikes caused "material losses," SANA says.

The pro-government Sham FM radio says the airstrikes were carried out in the Homs area.
