Local activists reported heavy rocket fire on trucks in the al-Furklos area in the east of the central Syrian province of Homs, some 200 kilometers northeast of the capital.

Another assault occurred in the coastal town of Banias, killing several civilians, including a minor, and causing material damage to houses.

On May 25, Israeli drones attacked two vehicles belonging to the Syrian Army and its allies in the town of Qusseir, near the border with Lebanon, some 200 kilometers northwest of the capital, killing one person and injuring another, as well as destroying the two cars.
