Israeli forces fired a number of missiles at the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Thursday, the latest in an increasing series of Israeli attacks on targets across Syria. Details on the damage inflicted are still unclear, with Syrian state media claiming the military have intercepted a lot of missiles and that initially there was no damage or casualties.
Exactly what was being attacked isn’t clear, though state media said that the T-4 airbase was where one “burst of missiles” was headed. The missiles were said to have been fired from Syrian airspace, near al-Tanf, a US-controlled base.

Israeli media claimed the T-4 base is being used by Syria to move weapons to Hezbollah. Israeli attacks often target Hezbollah or other Shi’ite groups, though recently some of them were aimed at Syrian military bases.

The Israeli government hasn’t confirmed the incident yet, as it rarely does. Israeli officials said they don’t comment on strikes reported by foreign media, though officials have coyly admitted that the campaign in general is a policy aimed at Shi’ite “enemies” aligned with Iran.
