Israeli airstrikes hit two locations in Syria's Homs province on Tuesday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). One target was near the Al-Aminiya farm, north of Homs city, while the other was near the village of Khirbet al-Tin, west of the city.
The SOHR reported that these areas, predominantly inhabited by Shiite communities, host Lebanese families and Hezbollah members who fled Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
Rescue teams, including ambulances and civil defense units, quickly arrived at the scenes. SOHR reported casualties, although the exact toll remains unknown.
Israel frequently intensifies its strikes in Syria, claiming to target positions used by Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups.
