Israeli airstrikes target T4 base, Syrian regime says
Israel continues to strike targets in Syria, Assad's state-run news agency says.
Syria’s government said its air defenses responded to Israeli airstrikes targeting the T4 air base in Syria’s Homs desert tonight.
The Syrian state-run SANA news agency said the strikes resulted in material losses. The report comes a day after SANA said Israeli aircraft had targeted southern Syria. Pro-regime media said Tuesday's attack occurred outside of the capital, Damascus.
Israel is believed to have conducted hundreds of airstrikes on suspected Iranian targets in Syria throughout Syria’s civil war. The Israeli government rarely acknowledges the campaign.
Israeli military officials did claim responsibility for a 2018 strike on what it said were advanced Iranian air defense weapons at the T4 air base. At least seven Iranian personnel were reported killed in the strike.
