DAMASCUS, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Israeli warplanes struck Syrian military positions in the countryside of the central province of Homs province on Wednesday, state TV reported.
The attack targeted the industrial Hissia area in the southern countryside of Homs, said the TV.
It added that the Syrian air defense system responded to the attack, firing several surface-to-air missiles.
The report didn't elaborate, but Sky News said four Israeli raids targeted an ammunition manufacturing plant in the industrial area of Hissia.
The Israeli attack is the latest in a string of similar moves that have targeted Syrian military posts on the pretext that the targeted areas contain Hezbollah-bound weapons.
On Oct.21, a military position in the southern province of Qunaitera was targeted by Israel.
