“We will continue to operate in order to prevent any attempt to violate Israeli sovereignty,” IDF added.

IDF carried out a series of airstrikes on several sites in Syria, Hebrew media said, citing Syrian reports on Friday.

The Syrian air defenses confronted the Israeli attack in the city of Hama.

“At about four o’clock in the morning today, the Israeli enemy launched an aerial aggression with a barrage of missiles coming from the direction of the Lebanese city of Tripoli, aiming at some targets in the vicinity of Hama governorate,” Syrian state media said, citing a military source.

“Our air defenses confronted the enemy’s missiles and downed most of them.”
