The Syrian government has again linked Israeli airstrikes in the country to operations by rebel forces.
At around 1:13 a.m. local time Thursday, Israel fired several missiles at the Al-Qusayr area of Homs province in western Syria, close to the Lebanese border. The strikes caused material damages and Syrian air defense forces downed some of the missiles, Syria’s official SANA news outlet reported.
