Previously, the SANA agency reported that an Israeli attack targeted Palmyra in the Eastern Homs countryside, leading to several injuries, confirming that “The Israeli aggression targeted residential buildings and the industrial city.”
Meanwhile, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, citing a source, reported that the explosions around Palmyra were due to shelling on the reserves headquarters of the Syrian army in Eastern Homs.
Israeli attacks on Syria have escalated since the onset of the war on Gaza in October 2023, with their intensity increasing since the Israeli escalation in Lebanon last September.
