Syrian air defenses repel missile attack on Homs T4 airbase
Syrian air defenses have thwarted a missile attack on the T4 airbase in the country's central province of Homs.
According to the Syria's official news agency SANA on Sunday, the source of the downed missiles was from south of the Tanf region.
"Our air defenses are responding to an Israeli aggression and intercepting a number of missiles targeting the airport, hitting one of the attacking planes and forcing the rest to leave the airspace," added a military source.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the incident claiming that the missiles had targeted an Hezbollah arms depot located close to the airport.
