Reports: Syrian air defense activated against IDF airstrike on Homs
Syrian media reported most of the missiles destroyed by air defense systems


Syria's air defense engaged the Israel Air Force during an airstrike on the western Syrian city Homs, according to state-run SANA news.
"At around 1:13 am today, the Israeli enemy carried out an airstrike from northeast Beirut, targeting some points in the Al-Qusayr area in the Homs countryside. Our air defenses confronted the missile assault and shot down most of them, with only material damage sustained.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a warehouse belonging to Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite terrorist organization active in Syria, was damaged in the attack.
On Monday night, SANA reported an Israeli airstrike in the Aleppo area, which was followed by rockets shot from Lebanon into Israel. The IDF responded with artillery fire toward targets in Lebanon.
