Late on January 14 (around 22:00 Damascus time), the Isareli Air Force carried out a strike on the T4 airport in the Syrian province of Homs.
According to pro-Syrian sources, the Syrian Air Defense responded to the strike by downing “a number of of missiles.” Nonetheless, the Syrian side confirmed that at least 4 missiles hit the T4 airport area, but said that the strike caused a material damage only. Pro-Israeli sources claim that multiple ‘Iranian personnel’ were killed in the strike.
The T4 airport is the operational base for Iranian-backed anti-ISIS operations in the central part of Syria as well as hosts a part of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in the country.
