The attacks were prominent in the eastern region of Syria. The attacks were majoring about Iran-backed depots. Consequently, there were 57 firefighter deaths with a series of injuries on dozens of people.

According to a Syrian military source, the missiles were from the direction of the Lebanese city of Tripoli. A bombardment of aerial missiles was spotted by the Syrian military aiming for the Hama governorate. Although the Syrian government made efforts to down most of the missiles, the family of four had no survival chances.
Diplomatic partnerships between the states

The Israeli aggression for peace continues.

Hezbollah, a close ally to Iran, backs Iran and Syria President Bashar-al-Assad in the civil war. Nonetheless, Israeli still acknowledges the two allies posed a security risk hence the missile launch.
