A military airbase in Syria’s south, known as T-4, came under attack late on Sunday, state media reported, attributing the strikes to Israel, which did not comment on the incident.  Several missiles have been intercepted by the anti-air defenses of the T-4 base, which is located in Homs countryside, and one attacking aircraft was hit as well, according to reports. There was no information on potential damage and casualties immediately available. Israel was previously blamed by Russia, Iran and Syria for attacking the T-4 airbase back in April. The strike killed and injured several Syrian servicemen and Iranian advisers at the compound, and it also inflicted damage to the airfield structures.
