The April 2015 Qalamoun incident was a series of attacks made on targets in Qalamoun region of Syria on the morning on 25 April 2015. The targets were the Brigade 155 (main Syrian Scud missile-base) and Brigade 65 bases in the Qalamoun.^[1] Two weapons convoys were also targeted, reportedly killing one person.^[3] According to an opposition source, the targets were Hezbollah camps and ammo storages within the two bases.^[4] Several explosions were heard in the areas of Kteife, Yabrud and a village in Qalamoun.^[1] Plumes of smoke were seen above the Brigade 65 base, shortly after the strikes.^{[citation needed]}

According to conflicting sources, the attack was attributed to a ground attack by Al-Nusra Front,^[5] or an air operation of the Israeli Air Force.^[6] Unprecedently, unlike previous cases of no comment, Israeli official sources denied any involvement of Israeli forces in the incident.^[7]
