An airstrike on a Syrian military airport at Al-Daba'a near Homs on Thursday, widely attributed to Israel, targeted three facilities used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah and to pro-regime military forces operating in the region, according to the Israeli defense blog Intelli Times.
The blog states that the airport, built by Iran, regularly takes in shipments of weapons from Iran and from other countries that arrive on local and international flights.
Based on an analysis of images from the Sentinel-2 satellite, the authors of the blog identified the targets of the strike as a recently constructed hangar used to store bombs and two underground hardened aircraft shelters where missiles and mobile anti-aircraft defenses were kept.
Syria reported that the strike was carried out from inside Lebanese airspace and blamed Israel. Syrian state media decried the "missile aggression" on the airport and claimed that Syrian air defenses had engaged and prevented the strike from carrying out its objective.
