Syria thwarted an Israeli missile attack on a military airbase in the Arab country’s central province of Homs, shooting down most of the missiles.
“At around 9:33 p.m. this evening, the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack from the direction of the al-Tanf area, with rockets launched toward the T-4 military airport in the central province,” SANA news agency said, citing an unnamed military source as saying.
“Syria’s air defense confronted the aggression’s missiles and shot down most of them,” the source stressed, adding that the latest aggression by the occupying regime also wounded “six soldiers” and resulted in “some material losses.”
Early last month, the Syrian air defenses managed to destroy 21 out of 24 guided missiles fired by four Israeli Air Force F-15 tactical fighters at targets in Syria from Lebanese airspace, the Russian military in the Arab country reported at the time.
The Zionist entity often violates the Lebanese airspace to launch its attacks against neighboring Syria.
Back in August, Lebanon lodged a complaint with the UN after Israeli warplanes violated once again the Arab country’s airspace to carry out separate airstrikes against positions near the Syrian capital city of Damascus and the western city of Homs.
