An Israeli Occupation strike wounded two civilians on Saturday in Syria’s town of Hamidiya, south of Tartus, the defense ministry said.

"The Israeli enemy carried out an air strike" at about 6:30 am (0330 GMT) near the town of Al-Hamidiyah, the ministry said in a statement, identifying the locations hit as poultry farms, without elaborating.

The strike was conducted from the Mediterranean Sea, west of Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, and "led to the injury of two civilians, including a woman", the ministry said in a statement.

Since the civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, the Israeli Occupation has carried out hundreds of air strikes against Syria.
