DAMASCUS: Israel carried out an aerial attack that damaged a military airport in central Syria, according to a military source quoted by Syria’s state news agency Sana. Israel “led a new attack against T4 airport … air defences were immediately activated against the enemy missiles, destroying several of them,” a military source told Sana.The attack in Homs province north of the capital Damascus, happened at around 10pm, the source said.
In an earlier report, Sana had said Syrian air defences were activated to confront the “aggression”, without specifying who was to blame.The incident adds to the growing tension in the Middle East after a US drone killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in a targetted strike in Iraq on Jan 3. Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, Israel has carried out many raids against Syrian government forces and their allies, Iran and Lebanon’s Tehran-backed Hezbollah group, enemies of the Jewish state.Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that Iranian forces were stationed at the military airport along with Russian advisers.
