Information is coming in about an Israeli air strike on the Khmeimim airbase in Syria

Last night, IDF aircraft attacked an airfield in the Syrian province of Latakia, where the Russian Khmeimim airbase is located. According to Arab media reports, the Israeli aircraft's target was a military transport plane delivering weapons from Iran to fighters of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.

All the consequences of this attack are still unknown, but judging by the videos published on the Internet, little remains of the Iranian military cargo. The footage, filmed in the immediate vicinity of the attacked object, shows numerous detonations. In all likelihood, Israeli intelligence received reliable data in advance about the location and time of the plane's arrival and the IDF aircraft struck, which is called for sure. Some sources claim that even the Russian Khmeimim airbase was hit, but so far there is no reliable confirmation of this.






However, there is information that the Russian air defense system, which provides cover for the base, was used to repel the attack.

Let us recall that the situation in the Middle East has sharply worsened after Iran's missile strike on Israel on October 1. Tehran has finally delivered the long-promised retaliatory blow for the murder of Hamas Politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh in the capital of the Islamic Republic.

It is worth noting that Tel Aviv has already promised a tough response to this missile attack. So now we have to admit that the Middle East is on the threshold of what is probably the largest military conflict.
