The Syrian defense ministry said Israel had launched air strikes on military positions in central Syria on Sunday, reporting no casualties.

Since Syria’s civil war erupted in 2011, Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in the country, mainly targeting army positions and Iran-backed fighters, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

The strikes have increased in recent days, including on areas near the border with Lebanon.
