The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on the Syrian town of Masyaf in Hama province continues to rise. According to the Syrian news agency SANA, the death toll has now reached 14. In addition, more than 40 people have been injured to varying degrees, some of whom are in critical condition.

The incident occurred on the night of September 8-9, 2024, when the Israeli Air Force launched a series of strikes on targets in the Masyaf area. Syrian sources claim that the attacks targeted military targets and infrastructure, but most of the victims were civilians, which only worsens the humanitarian situation in the region.

Local authorities said many buildings, including homes, were destroyed or damaged by the shelling. Rescue services were still at the scene, clearing debris and treating victims. The death toll is expected to rise as some of the wounded are in serious condition.
