Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on several locations around Homs and Latakia late last night.

According to information received, the strikes targeted an air defense battalion, the Air Defense College in the Awras area southeast of Homs, and the Saqoubin military barracks near Latakia.

In the first swift response from the transitional government since the fall of the former Syrian regime to the ongoing Israeli strikes on specific locations in Syria, which Israel says target movements threatening it, the transitional government condemned the attack on its military positions and demanded that the UN Security Council assume its responsibilities.

However, several Israeli sources told the media that the strikes targeted equipment at sites Turkey is preparing to use as military bases in Syria.
