    On Friday evening, Israeli warplanes carried out a series of attacks
    on four different targets in and around the provinces of Hama and Homs
    and central Syria. The attacks targeted Syrian air defenses and sites
    believed to have a non-Syrian militia presence.

    Reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights were that three
    people were killed, all with some unidentified �pro-Iran militia,� and
    10 other people were wounded. The attack on the air defense battery in
    Homs Province was near the Lebanon border.

    Syrian state media reported that at least seven of the wounded were
    civilians. They also added that some of the missiles fired by the
    Israeli warplanes were intercepted during the course of the attack.

    In addition to the Homs air defense battery, the sites targeted were
    identified by the Observatory as a Hama weapons depot, the
    administration of the 47th brigade, and another air defense battery in
    Ma�arin Mountain, which reportedly was being used as a deployment site
    by Shi�ite militias.

    Other reports from another opposition figure were that the Israeli
    attacks in Hama also targeted a scientific research center and a
    veterinary college. The research center had reportedly been used in
    the past to develop Scud missiles.

    Israel has been carrying out a growing number of attacks on
    neighboring countries in recent months, with an active war in the Gaza
    Strip and a growing air war against Lebanon. Attacks in Syria are less frequent, but have been ongoing for years, despite Israel�s claims of neutrality in the Syrian Civil War.

    The Zionists continue to reign terror upon its neighbors, killing many
    innocent civilians in the process.
