Israel targeted warehouses in the industrial city of Qusayr and buildings on the outskirts of Qusayr in the Homs countryside near the Syrian-Lebanese border with several airstrikes. Seven violent explosions were heard, and columns of smoke rose from the targeted sites. Sham FM Radio reported one person killed and three others injured.
