Israeli Army on Homs Base Strike: It Contained

الطيران الإسرائيلي _ أرشيف

The Israeli army announced on Tuesday that it had carried out airstrikes targeting Syrian military positions in Homs province, stating that these sites contained "active military capabilities."

In a statement via Telegram, the army explained that the strikes hit the Tadmur and Tiyas (T-4) airbases, adding that the attack was part of what it described as an effort to "weaken the remaining military capabilities" in the area.

The statement noted that the Tiyas Airbase, also known as "T-4 Airbase," is located about 50 kilometers west of Palmyra. It also highlighted that these strikes were not the first of their kind, as Israel had previously targeted the same military airport just days earlier.

According to media sources, the Israeli airstrikes on Palmyra Military Airport took place early Tuesday morning. Outlets such as Al Arabiya and Al Hadath confirmed that this was the second strike within days. Correspondents from the same channels also reported intense Israeli aerial activity over the Syrian capital, Damascus, which could indicate preparations for additional operations.

In a related context, the Israeli army revealed last Friday that it had targeted two military bases in central Syria, one of them in Palmyra, confirming that the strikes hit what it described as the "remaining strategic capabilities" in these bases. The French news agency AFP quoted the Israeli statement as saying that the strikes targeted T-4 Airbase, one of the most significant military airbases west of Palmyra.

In addition to air operations, Israeli forces continue to strengthen their presence in the buffer zone of the occupied Golan Heights. Israeli military sources confirmed that the army has stationed itself in more than ten positions along the demilitarized zone between Syria and Israel since 1974. Israeli units have also advanced into areas surrounding the buffer zone, reaching the eastern side of Mount Hermon.

In this context, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's movements in the Golan are of a "temporary defensive nature" aimed at countering what he described as potential threats from Syrian territory. However, he added that Israeli forces would remain in these positions until Tel Aviv receives "clear security guarantees" along the border.
