Two Iran-backed militants were killed after Israel struck targets in Syria’s military air base near Homs, a human rights watchdog reported Saturday. The airstrike also injured six soldiers and caused material damage, official Syrian media reported Friday. Israel has targeted the T4 military air base in the past, which is known to house Iranian forces.

“The Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of the military area of Al-Tanf with bursts of missiles towards the T4 military airport in the central region,” a source said, adding that the air defenses had brought down most of the missiles.
…
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes inside Syria in the course of the country’s civil war, targeting what it says are suspected arms shipments believed to be bound for Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, which is fighting alongside Syrian government forces. It rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.–
