    Alleged Israeli strike in Syria
    About two and a half weeks ago, Syria reported that Israel carried out an attack near the city of Hama in the west of the country.
    According to reports, a barrage of missiles was fired from the direction of the city of Tripoli in Lebanon and explosions were heard in the area near the city.
    A Syrian military source claimed that most of the missiles were intercepted, but parents and their two children were killed in the attack, while four others were wounded.
