An Israeli strike on the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has killed at least 36 people and injured dozens of others, the SANA news agency reported on Wednesday.
The state-run agency, citing a military source, said the attack targeted a residential complex and was launched from the direction of the al-Tanf US military base in the southeastern part of the country on the Jordanian border. Syria says all US forces on its territory are illegally stationed, while American officials claim it is part of Washington’s anti-terrorism campaign against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).
Apart from killing 36 people and injuring 50 others, the attack inflicted “significant material damage to the buildings and the surrounding area,” SANA said.
Unverified videos from Palmyra circulating on social media appear to show the immediate aftermath of the strike, with two tall plumes of smoke and dust rising into the sky as locals scramble for safety.
