The near-daily Israeli airstrikes on unrelated targets in Syria continued today when a multi-rocket drone strike hit a distribution center for humanitarian aid in the village of Shinshar on the highway between Homs and Damascus.
Reports are that the rockets were fired at a convoy of trucks headed to the site. This also lead to initial reports that the target was a “military site linked to Iran,” and while that doesn’t appear to be the case, pro-Israeli social media still insist the site or the trucks are somehow in league with Iran and/or Hezbollah.
Shinshar is a relatively small Sunni village, so it wouldn’t make much sense for Shi’ite Hezbollah to set up a military site there. The site’s location does make it ideal for humanitarian aid distribution though. On the highway between the major cities of Homs and Damascus, Shinshar is also right next to the road to Qusayr city, which has a major border crossing. Lebanese refugees probably pass by Shinshar on their way elsewhere.
