IDF strikes reported on Hezbollah base in Syria
Israeli airstrikes in Syria were reported on Thursday evening southwest of Homs near a military airport close to al-Qasr. Reports later confirmed a Hezbollah base in Syria was hit in the strikes.
Large explosions were reported Thursday, with varied reports from Syrian and Hezbollah media on the strikes. Hezbollah initially reported four missiles fired at the al-Dabaa airport, and five Israeli jets in Lebanese airspace. Sky News Arabia reported sounds of Israel jets in Lebanese airspace ahead of the strikes.
SANA news agency reported Thursday that “One of our military airports in the central region was exposed to hostile missile aggression,” claiming “our air defense systems confronted the attack and prevented it from achieving its aim.”
On Friday afternoon, the target of the strikes was revealed to be a Hezbollah base in Syria. The strikes reportedly targeted Iranian missiles at the site. The base was known for harboring both Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Forces, as well as would “host multiple militia recruitment centers & training facilities.”
S-200 air defense missiles were fired at the incoming missiles, with no damages reported.
As with most covert operations in Syria, the IDF and Ministry of Defense refused to comment on the reports.
