The Times of Israel adds:
According to Syria’s Sham FM radio station, in Sunday’s strike Israeli jets targeted the Shayrat Airbase, south of the city of Homs.

The runway and underground facilities at the Shayrat airbase have undergone a major expansion by the Russian military in the last three years.

Two Syrian soldiers were killed and three others were injured in alleged Israeli airstrikes that hit the Shayrat airbase southeast of Homs on Sunday evening, according to Syrian state media SANA.

The airstrikes were conducted from over Lebanese airspace in northern Lebanon, according to SANA. Syrian journalist Nour Abo Hasan reported that the airstrikes targeted a shipment of weapons intended for Hezbollah which was on its way to Lebanon near the airport.

Russia, which maintains a major military presence in Syria, has forces stationed near to Shayrat air base and uses the base, security sources say.
