- Israeli missile strikes on Syria killed at least six Iran-backed fighters on December 25. The research centre in Masyaf has been hit several times by Israeli strikes in recent years, the Observatory said. "Our air defences intercepted an Israeli attack on the Masyaf area," SANA reported. State television aired footage purporting to show air defences responding to the Israeli attack. Israel has launched hundreds of strikes in Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011.
