11 soldiers killed in Israeli attack in Syria
11 military personnel have been killed in an Israeli strike targeting areas in central and southern Syria. A war monitor has reported this. An officer is also among the victims. The attack targeted a scientific research center and other military bases in the countryside of Homs province and the capital Damascus.
There was no further information on casualties, but the War Monitor said it was retaliated with an airstrike.
The Israeli strikes are the latest in actions targeting Syrian military bases across the country.
The Israeli Defense Force has launched hundreds of attacks in Syria since the civil war began in 2011.
Although the pace of attacks has slowed significantly in recent months, the last attacks reportedly occurred on May 5 and 6 at sites in Latakia and near Qunetra.
The report said that a civilian was reported to have been killed in the attack on May 5.
