Israeli air strikes on Wednesday killed two Syrian soldiers and wounded six others in Syria's west coast, state media said, quoting a military source.
"At exactly 17:22 this afternoon, the Israeli enemy carried out strikes... from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea targeting some of our air defense sites in Tartus," the official news agency SANA quoted the source as saying.
"The aggression led to the death of two soldiers, and wounded six others," it added.
Throughout the war in Syria, neighboring Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes on the country, primarily targeting Iran-backed forces and Hezbollah fighters, as well as Syrian army positions.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Wednesday's strikes targeted a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah.
The war monitor confirmed the death of the two soldiers, adding that a fighter of unknown nationality was also killed.
