The death toll from a series of Israeli airstrikes against multiple military installations and buildings in Syria’s central province of Hama has risen to 14, as the Tel Aviv regime continues its acts of aggression on Syria concurrent with its bloody war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing the Director of Masyaf National Hospital Dr. Faisal Haidar, reported that at least 14 people were killed as a result of overnight Israeli air strikes on a number of sites in the vicinity of Masyaf, located approximately 40 kilometers (24 miles) west of the provincial capital city of Hama.

He added that at least 43 people were also wounded in the strikes, including six in critical condition.

The update raises the toll of five dead and 19 wounded reported earlier.

Meanwhile, Hama Provincial Governor Maan Subhi Abboud visited the injured at the Masyaf National Hospital and checked on their health condition and medical treatment.

He directed ambulance, medical and nursing teams to provide all necessary services to them.

“At around 23:20 p.m. (2020 GMT) on Sunday evening, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of northwestern Lebanon, targeting a number of military sites in the central region [of Syria],” a military source told SANA.

“Our air defense systems confronted the aggression’s missiles and shot down some of them,” the source added, without providing further details.
