Four people were killed, and several others were injured in alleged Israeli airstrikes that targeted two sites in and near al-Qusayr in western Syria on Monday morning, according to Syrian reports.

Footage from the scene of one of the strikes showed a truck turned on its side and a destroyed building.

According to the Syrian Capital Voice news site, at least two members of Hezbollah were killed in the strike.

Strike comes two days after last airstrike in Syria

The strikes in Syria come just two days after an alleged Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle on the Syrian side of the border crossing near Masnaa, west of Damascus. The target of the strike remained unclear as of Monday.

In early May, eight Syrian soldiers were injured in alleged Israeli airstrikes that targeted a building in the Damascus area. Those strikes were the first such strikes reported since several senior commanders in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in early April.
