Syria's Ministry of Defence confirmed today that an Israeli airstrike targeted two locations in Damascus and a military site in rural Homs, resulting in the death of one soldier and injuries to seven others. Explosions were heard in the capital early this morning, with state TV calling it "an Israeli aggression."

Since 2011, Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes in Syria, targeting Syrian military and Iranian-linked positions. The frequency of these attacks has surged in recent weeks amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
