Israeli air strikes on military sites in central Syria killed at least 18 people and injured 37, according to Syrian health minister Hassan al-Ghabbash. A UK-based monitoring group reported 26 deaths, including civilians and pro-Iran fighters, and significant damage to a scientific research center near Masyaf. Israel, which has conducted numerous strikes on Iranian-linked targets in Syria, did not comment. Syria and Iran condemned the attacks. The strikes also damaged infrastructure, including a highway, power line, and fiber optic cable.
