| An Israeli attack on the Syrian military’s T4 airbase in central Homs Province was intercepted by the country’s air defenses, SANA news agency reported. | |
| The airbase was targeted in an attack by Israeli warplanes that fired a barrage of missiles at the facility, most of which were shot down, a military source told SANA, adding that the planes came from the direction of the al-Tanf region in southeastern Syria, where the US maintains a base. | The airbase was targeted in an attack by Israeli warplanes that fired a barrage of missiles at the facility, most of which were shot down, a military source told SANA, adding that the planes came from the direction of the al-Tanf region in southeastern Syria, where the US maintains a base. |
