Accounts on social media circulated posts claiming that Israeli aircraft had struck a Syrian army position in the Akkar plain area near Talkalakh, west of Homs.
Kashaf contacted a security source in Homs governorate to verify the circulating reports. The source categorically denied that any airstrikes or shelling had targeted Syrian positions in the border area with Lebanon during the period in question. The source confirmed that the relevant authorities had recorded no incident of this kind in the area, explaining that the circulating information rests on no official or credible field data.
Why is this claim misleading?
Categorical official denial: The relevant security authorities in Homs confirmed that no Israeli strike or shelling took place in the border area.
No field evidence: The posts relied on flimsy speculation without any actual strike being recorded on the ground.
