Syria Thwarts ‘Israeli’ Missile Attack on T4 Airbase

By Staff, Agencies

The Syrian air defenses foiled yet another ‘Israeli’ missile attack against the T4 airbase in central Syria.

At 22:23 on Wednesday, ‘Israeli’ warplanes fired missiles from the direction of al-Tanf in southeastern Syria, targeting the T4 [officially known as Althias] airbase in Homs province, a report by the state news agency SANA said.

The report quoted a military source as saying that most of the missiles were shot down and the rest caused only material damage.

The latest aggression came only two days after an ‘Israeli’ missile attack against military sites in southern Damascus killed two Syrian soldiers and injured seven others in addition to causing material damage.

The Monday attack had been launched from the occupied Golan Heights.

Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the ‘Israeli’ regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.

The Zionist entity frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against terrorists.

The Tel Aviv regime mostly keeps quiet about the attacks on Syrian territories which many view as knee-jerk reaction to Syrian government’s increasing success in confronting terrorism in country.

The Zionist entity has been a main supporter of terrorist groups that have opposed the government of President Bashar al-Assad since militancy erupted in Syria nine years ago.
