The Israeli warplanes fired several missiles at the base, most of which were intercepted by the Syrian air defense forces. Four missiles hit the base, the Syrian army said in a statement. The attack was carried out from the direction of the al-Tanf area in southeastern Syria, where a US base is located. 
Syria’s state news agency SANA claimed the missiles caused limited damage to the air base, and no casualties were reported. The attack was the latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting military sites in Syria, which Israel usually claims are manned by Iranian-backed fighters.
