Israel launched air raids on Syria, targeting locations near the government-held city of Homs, but Syrian air defences successfully intercepted most of the missiles, according to a report from state media. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), citing an army statement, stated that the missiles flew over parts of Beirut, Lebanon, before striking areas near Homs. The attacks caused only material damage, as reported by SANA.

The jets also targeted other locations in the vicinity, according to Avichay Adraee.
