Reports Say Israel Hit Targets on Lebanon-Syria Border, Hizbullah Denies
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israeli warplanes struck Hizbullah and Syrian army targets in a number of hills in the Syria-Lebanon border region at dawn Wednesday, media reports said, drawing a rebuttal from Hizbullah sources.
“Suspected Israeli warplanes fired at least six missiles at the al-Qutaifa mountainous region in Damascus' northeastern countryside, targeting arms depots in an area where the regime forces' Third Division is deployed,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported, quoting “a number of credible sources.”
The bombing caused “destruction” but “there are no reports of casualties until the moment,” the Observatory added.
Sky News Arabia meanwhile said local sources in Syria's Qalamoun region and Lebanon's Bekaa Valley heard “a series of blasts.”
“Hizbullah sources denied that the raids had targeted areas inside Lebanon,” Sky News Arabia added.
Al-Jadeed television meanwhile said “Israeli warplanes overflew the city of Baalbek and its suburbs at low altitude around 3:00 am amid reports of strikes from Lebanese airspace against mountains in the Syrian region of al-Qutaifa.”
The Hizbullah-affiliated Military Media arm meanwhile said “reports claiming that Israeli raids have targeted a region in Lebanon's Eastern Mountain Belt and resistance posts in the belt and Syria's Qalamoun are baseless.”
In April 2016, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time that Israel had carried out “dozens” of strikes inside Syria to prevent Hizbullah from acquiring what he described as “game-changing” weapons.
