Five dead including civilians in Israeli strikes on Syria

WNAM MONITORING: Israeli strikes on Syria’s Homs killed five people including three civilians Wednesday, a war monitor said, with Syria’s defense ministry reporting an unspecified number of civilians dead.
“Five people have been killed including three civilians — a woman, a child, and a man — and seven others were injured in Israeli strikes on a building in the Hamra neighborhood of Homs city,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, updating an earlier toll of four.
The identities of the two non-civilian casualties were unknown, the monitor said.
Syria’s defense ministry reported that “the Israeli enemy launched air strikes from the direction north of Tripoli (Lebanon) targeting a number of sites in the city of Homs and its countryside… killing and injuring a number of civilians.”
Syrian state television shared footage of rescuers rummaging through the rubble of what appeared to be a collapsed building and carrying someone on a stretcher.
Earlier, Syrian state television reported “an Israeli assault” on central Syria, in Homs province.
