Alwaght- Russia said Israeli regime was behind Sunday strike on Syria's air base in Homs province.
The Interfax news agency cited the Russian Defense Ministry as saying on Monday that two Israeli F-15 warplanes carried out strikes from Lebanese air space on the T-4 air base, and that Syrian air defense systems shot down five of eight missiles fired.
"Two F-15 planes of the Israeli army hit the airbase between 03:25 am and 03:53 am Moscow time (0025 GMT and 0053 GMT) with the help of eight missiles controlled remotely from Lebanese territory, without entering Syrian air space," Russia’s Defense Ministry said.
The Syrian state media, that initially blamed the strike on the US, reported that the deadly attack was carried out by Israeli warplanes.
"The Israeli attack on the T-4 airport was carried out with F-15 aircraft that fired several missiles from above Lebanese territory," a Syrian military source was quoted by SANA.
Israeli regime has already attacked the Tiyas base on February 10, claiming a drone has flown into the occupied Palestinian territory from the air base.
