Israel accused of airbase strike

-

Syrian air defense units responded late on Sunday to an Israeli “aggression” on an air base in the country’s central province of Homs, shooting down several missiles, state TV said. The channel, quoting an unidentifi­ed military official, said the attack targeted the T4 air base with six missiles. The report did not mention any casualties but said one warplane was hit and several missiles were shot down before reaching their target. The Britain-based Syrian Observator­y for Human Rights, a war monitor, said the missiles targeted Iranian troops and non-Syrian pro-Iranian fighters.
