Two civilian airplanes bound for Qatar were reportedly used as cover by Israeli jets,
launching missiles from Lebanese airspace,
against targets near the Syrian cities of Homs and Quneitra.
Syrian air defenses engaged incoming missiles shortly after midnight local time on Thursday, both near Homs in central Syria and Quneitra in the south, on the armistice line with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Following the attack, reports appeared that at least two flights – one passenger, one cargo – had to change course to avoid getting struck by air defense missiles.
Once again despicable Israeli tactics, war crimes, again.
