BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian air defenses responded on Friday night to an Israeli strike targeting a military airbase in the country’s central province of Homs, Syrian state media said. The airstrike wounded six soldiers, the report said.

The report quoted an unnamed military official as saying the airstrike took place shortly after 9 p.m., and that it reached as far as the military’s T4 airbase in the desert.

The official said the Syrian air defenses hit most of the incoming missiles. But he reported that six soldiers were wounded in the attack and that there was unspecified damage. There were no further details.

Сирийские средства ПВО отбили одну из наиболее спланированных атак Израиля.

Незадолго до полуночи Силы обороны Израиля запустили новую масштабную атаку против Сирии, выпустив по сирийской провинции Хомс значительное количество ракет. По предварительным данным, в атаке Израиль задействовал и свои оперативно-тактические ракетные комплексы, очевидно, намереваясь обмануть сирийские средства противовоздушной обороны и неизвестные комплексы РЭБ, препятствующие успешным атакам ЦАХАЛ. Тем не менее, как и в четырёх предыдущих случаях, сирийским средствам противовоздушной обороны удалось успешно отразить атаку израильских военных, сбив практически все ракеты.

Под удары израильских ВВС попала авиабаза Тияс, авиабаза Шайрат, военный аэродром Эль-Кусейр и ряд иных объектов. По сообщениям источников, ущерб либо сведён к минимуму, либо же полностью отсутствует. Оценочно эффективность работы средств ПВО Сирии вновь превысила отметку в 90% успешных перехватов, в то время как остальные израильские ракеты удалось вывести из строя или же отклонить благодаря средствам радиоэлектронного подавления.

По пока что неподтверждённым данным, отражение атаки на Сирию велось и с территории Тартуса. Предположительно, перехват ракет осуществляли российские военные, поскольку израильские ракеты угрожали базе ВМФ России, расположенной на территории этого города, но официальных подтверждений этим сведениям со стороны российского военного командования пока что нет.

Известно о том, что в отражении атаки на Сирию принимали участие ЗРК «Оса», ЗРПК «Бук-М2Э» и ЗРПК «Панцирь-С».

Syrian air defenses repulsed one of Israel's most planned attacks.

Just before midnight, the Israel Defense Forces launched a new large-scale attack against Syria, firing a significant number of rockets at the Syrian province of Homs. According to preliminary data, Israel also used its operational-tactical missile systems in the attack, obviously intending to deceive the Syrian air defense systems and unknown electronic warfare systems that impede successful attacks by the IDF. Nevertheless, as in the four previous cases, the Syrian air defense systems managed to successfully repel the attack of the Israeli military, shooting down almost all the missiles.

Tiyas airbase, Shayrat airbase, El-Quseir military airfield and a number of other objects were hit by the Israeli Air Force. According to sources, damage is either minimized or completely absent. The estimated effectiveness of the Syrian air defense systems again exceeded 90% of successful interceptions, while the rest of the Israeli missiles were disabled or deflected thanks to electronic countermeasures.

According to so far unconfirmed reports, the attack on Syria was repelled from the territory of Tartus. Presumably, the interception of the missiles was carried out by the Russian military, since Israeli missiles were threatening a Russian naval base located on the territory of this city, but there is still no official confirmation of this information from the Russian military command.

It is known that the Osa air defense missile system, the Buk-M2E air defense missile system and the Pantsir-S air defense missile system took part in repelling the attack on Syria.

Jessica McNulty, a spokeswoman for the US Department of Defense, as saying that 900 US soldiers will remain stationed in northeastern Syria and at the Al-Tanf crossing, where the main goal of their presence is to work with the SDF to combat ISIS in the region.

Why the Israelis not use usual route of Lebanon airspace or MED sea ? Maybe they fear Rocket from Lebanon ? Maybe they want to expand war to Jordan ?

Why the Israelis not use usual route of Lebanon airspace or MED sea ? Maybe they fear Rocket from Lebanon ? Maybe they want to expand war to Jordan ? Let one Arab nation fight another ? So SAA can retaliate against Jordan ? A minor retaliation with no deliberate loss of life .  Put picture on tv ? Embarrass the Jordanians ? Russians should not mind this ! No danger of war to them and no Nukes . How long can Jordan sit on the fence ? And who will they hit out against ? Arab neighbour or Zionist  ? Turn the tables.......?

I think the Russians or Iranians are hoping that problem goes away , if they ignore it long enough . Like Einstein said that definition of madness is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result !

They are clearly picking their battles and preparing... and the Syrians are getting better and better at using their air defence systems too.

Regarding these attacks being insignificant , I am not sure . Over the past few years , there must have been hundreds of attacks with much casualties and damage .

And the need to use many air defence assets . Who pays for them ? I am not sure if Syria pays or Russia or Iran donate some systems . So it costs money , whoever pays .

The Americans may be able to afford this

Especially if it costs less to attack and more to defend . But can Syria afford it ?

Even if they could , why should they waste money ? When a simple Rocket or drone does a better job ? Let the attackers defend and run out of expensive SAM . Use a drone or Rocket instead to hit them . Syrians can borrow some from Lebanon or Yemen . Problem solved .
