April 2015 al-Qalamoun incident

The April 2015 al-Qalamoun incident were a series of attacks made on targets in al-Qalamoun region of Syria on the morning on 25 April 2015. The targets were the Brigade 155 (main Syrian Scud-base) and Brigade 65 bases in the Qalamoun. Two weapons convoys were also targeted, reportedly killing one person. According to an opposition source, the targets were Hezbollah camps and ammo storages within the two bases. Several explosions were heard in the areas of Kteife, Yabrud and a village in Qalamoun. Plumes of smoke were seen above the Brigade 65 base, shortly after the strikes.

According to conflicting sources the attack was attributed to a ground attack by Al-Nusra Front, or an air operation of the Israeli Air Force. Unprecedently, unlike previous cases of no comment, Israeli official sources denied any involvement of Israeli forces in the incident.
