Israeli airstrikes hit targets near Syria’s Mediterranean Sea port city of Tartous on Wednesday, killing two Syrian soldiers, Syria’s SANA news agency reported.
The report said the strikes targeted air defense positions. On top of the two Syrian soldiers that were killed, six more were wounded, and there was material damage.
“At 17:22 this afternoon, the Israeli enemy carried out aggression with bursts of rockets from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, targeting some of our air defense positions in Tartous,” a military source told SANA.
The strike marked a rare daytime attack, as Israeli airstrikes on Syria are typically launched late at night or early in the morning. The attack on Tartous marked at least the 24th Israeli bombing of Syria this year.
Israeli officials frame their airstrikes in Syria as operations against Iran and Hezbollah, but they often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure. The last known Israeli airstrike in Syria was on August 28 and temporarily put the Aleppo airport out of service.
Earlier this year, Israeli Defense Yoav Gallant said that the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled airstrikes in Syria since it came to power at the end of December 2022.

A day of reckoning is ahead for racist warmonger Israel. What will the Israelis do when they can no longer leach off the US?
They’ll turncoat in a flash, rediscovering their long lost Slavic brothers.
“Long Lost Slavic brothers” Really! Israelis come an a rainbow of colors and origins-Ethiopian,French,Yemeni, Sabra,families that have lived in Palestine. since biblical times,Iraqi,Ethiopia,Syria,Persia,Egypt,Bulkarans ect.Do not attempt to pigeon hole people
Yes,racist because they no longer submit willingly to Christian and Moslem degredation and abuse.
Even Tom Friedman says they practice apartheid. But it’s good you’re finally admitting it. But of course, now you make it sound justified.
Tom Friedman is entitled to his opinion.He does not live in the region.or face the problems people living there do.Many New York liberals who hollered about Trump’s wall, are now crying about the streets of NY now filling up with homeless “migrants”.If people want to kill you, then keep them away-very just
But Friedman is still a staunch supporter of Israel. I’ll post the link but since you won’t read it, I’ll give you some of the highlights:
“Folks, don’t worry. In times of crisis, I know where I will be. When the Jewish state is under threat–”
Friedman continues that role in his latest column. He is trying to save the Jewish state now that its reputation is going into the toilet. Israel is delegitimizing itself. “Bibi” Netanyahu, a man of great political talent, Friedman writes, is being “led around by the nose” by the racist/fascist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and is thereby abandoning that vital “fiction” that Israel will one day give up the West Bank.
That’s what’s so disgusting about Friedman’s column: he admits he knew it was a fiction all along.

Funny how you quote a guy who was a strong supporter of the Iraq war-who thought pf democratizing the Mid East through war.
I’m quoting a guy who is a staunch supporter of Israel saying Israel practices apartheid. But nice try.
They’ll find a new “host” to latch onto. Parasites are like that.
You admit that you hate Israelis and Israel-not a good foundation for reason.
Identifying parasites has nothing to do with hatred. Perceiving that identification as hate is just ignorant. Israel has been on the US Teat for a very long time.
The man has previously admitted his animus several times.My point stands.
Bullsh*t. I’ll repeat my other reply:
You’d have to look long and hard to find me saying I hate Israelis since I’ve never said it or even implied it. Probably because I don’t hate them. I do hate their apartheid practicing state sponsors of terrorism government.

The true racists are the people who drove their Jewish neighbors in the Arab world out of their homes.
You are the true racist.
Israel needs its revenge on Humanity. It’s an Old Testament addiction that characterizes early religions from the Middle East.
Kinda represents the “religion” which motivates Uncle Sam Peckerhead.
And of course,Christianity spread love ,justice and turning the other cheek-barf me with a spoon.It is not a question of revenge,it is neutralizing enemy threats in the present.Get Real!
Same to you fella. I detest all the old testament religions, without bias.
Israel is an apartheid state pure and simple. I would support cutting them off from the US teat until they can stop trying to destroy Iran, a country which has had its fill of abuse from Israel’s sponsor. As for the Iranians, I’d like to see them able to put abuse by the US behind them, but first the US needs to take its hands off the Iranian throat and remove sanctions and start negotiating in earnest, rather than acting as Israel’s surrogate.
You should be able to distinguish between the New Testament and the creeps who have put it to misuse in the name of promoting racism and the rape of human and other natural resources. Such people do not follow the guidelines set forth by the New Testament, whereas I would say the followers of the old pursue its dictates of revenge and exclusionism to a tee.
It’s ironic that both Israel and Iran believe in the same blood lust.
So let us look at the Eastern religions-Flaying people alive was very popular in Tibetan Buddhism. Islam,being a religion that prosthelitizes,inherently must convert others by force.
Destroying hostile troop concentrations is not revenge-it is self defense. The great concern shown for Syria and Iran on this site does not jive with the nature of their regimes-murder of dissidents, torture,poison gassing.
MAKE PEACE, NOT WAR. Give it a try for a change Israel.
Don’t lie, don’t deny and don’t alibi…
grow up
