Israeli raids | Airstrike targets one of posts in Al-Qusayr countryside on Syrian-Lebanese border

Homs province: Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike targeting a border post near Hawsh Al-Sayyid Ali village in Al-Qusayr countryside, south-west of Homs, on the border between Syria and Lebanon, while no causalities were reported.
This comes as part of Israel’s continued war on the Syrian-Lebanese border in an attempt to cut off the supply routes of the Lebanese “Hezbollah”.

SOHR documented 141 attacks in 2024: 115 airstrikes and 26 rocket attacks by ground forces, during which Israel targeted several positions in Syria, destroying nearly 255 targets, including buildings, weapons and ammunitions warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles. These strikes killed 274 combatants and injured 204 others. The fatalities are distributed as follows:

* 25 Iranian members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

* 54 members of the Lebanese Hezbollah.

* 28 Iraqi persons.

* 80 Iranian-backed Syrian militiamen.

* 25 Iranian-backed non-Syrian militiamen.

* 62 regime soldiers.

In addition, those attacks left 51 civilians, including six children, 13 women and a Lebanese man, dead and nearly 58 other civilians injured.

The total civilian death toll includes a Yemeni doctor, his wife and their three children, two women, a child and a man who were killed in the Israeli strike which targeted a building in Al-Mazzah neighbourhood in Damascus.

It is worth noting that one of those attacks killed Baraa Al-Qaterji, a prominent businessman close to Iranians, and his cousin.

The attacks are distributed regionally as follows:

* Damascus and Rif Dimashq: 51 attacks.

* Daraa: 17 attacks.

* Homs: 45 attacks.

* Al-Quneitra: 16 attacks.

* Tartus: Three attacks.

* Deir Ezzor: Five attacks.

* Aleppo: Two attacks.

* Hama: Four attacks.

* Al-Suwaidaa: Two attacks.

* Latakia: Two attacks.

SOHR would like to point out that Israel sometimes targeted more than one province in a single attack
