The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the killing of a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and injury of four other members of non-Syrian nationality in an Israeli attack in the early hours of today.

According to the observatory, the attack targeted an ammunition warehouse in the vicinity of Al-Nejmah village on the north-eastern outskirts of Homs city. Violent explosions were heard in several areas in Homs city.

Four other members of the air defence were injured by the Israeli missiles that targeted the  S-200 air defence base in Al-Qadmous area in theTartous countryside, coinciding with the attempts of the air defence to stop the Israeli attack, which, however, failed and the Israeli missiles reached their targets.
