Israel carried out airstrikes targeting an industrial site in the Syrian city of Homs and a military site in the countryside near the city of Hama leaving only "some material damage," Syrian state TV said early on Thursday.
Israel targeted a car manufacturing plant at the industrial site in Homs, which led to a fire breaking out there and firefighting teams are currently working to extinguish it, Syrian TV said, citing the director of the industrial site, Amer Khalil.
Explosions were heard in the Syrian city of Daraa and they are being investigated, state media also reported.
Israel has been carrying out strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria for years, but has ramped up its raids since last year's October 7 attack by the Palestinian insurgent group Hamas on Israeli territory.
