For second consecutive day | Four people inured under Israeli aerial attack on Matraba Crossing on borders between Syria and Lebanon

Homs province: Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike and fired several missiles on Matraba Crossing that connects Al-Qaseer area to Lebanese territory, where four members of the Military Intelligence of the regime were injured and the crossing was put out of service after suffering major material damages.

This is the second attack for the second consecutive day, and the fifth attack since the start of Israeli escalation on Lebanese territory.

SOHR documented 72 attacks in 2024: 55 airstrikes and 17 rocket attacks by ground forces, during which Israel targeted several positions in Syria, destroying nearly 146 targets, including buildings, weapons and ammunitions warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles. These strikes killed 219 combatants and injured 149 others. The fatalities are distributed as follows:

* 24 Iranian members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

* 43 members of the Lebanese Hezbollah.

* 19 Iraqi persons.

* 59 Iranian-backed Syrian militiamen.

* 17 Iranian-backed non-Syrian militiamen.

* 52 regime soldiers.

* Five unidentified persons.

In addition, those attacks left 23 civilians, including a little girl and four women, dead and nearly 36 other civilians injured.
