A family of four was killed in central Syria on Friday during a missile strike launched by Israeli warplanes. Israel launched the early morning strike from Lebanese air space, according to the Britain-based watchdog, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It destroyed five Syrian military sites in an area of Hama where Iran-backed fighters are present. SANA added a family, including a father, mother and two children, were killed and three houses were destroyed. The Syrian Observatory said it recorded 39 Israeli strikes inside Syria in 2020 that hit 135 targets, including military posts, warehouses or vehicles.
