Israeli planes attack military position in Syria's Hama province -SANA

Israeli planes on Saturday attacked a military position in the Hama province of Syria, reported Syria state news agency SANA. The Syrian Army, however, intercepted and foiled the Isreali attack. The attack has caused the destruction of some buildings and has left three fighters injured.

The agency quoted a military source, who said that around 2:30 am, warplanes of Israel conducted an air strike from Lebanese air space. The tensions between Israel and Syria have escalated after the United States' recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. The decision sparked condemnation and protests in Syria.
