Israel Missile Strike on RUSSIAN Air Base in Syria! Hmeimim Air Base Targetted
Video Summary
Israel has launched a surprise missile strike against the Russian Air Base in Jabla, Western Syria, despite the presence of Syrian and Russian air defenses. The attack, which reportedly involved 30 missiles launched from naval ships, targeted a shipment of Iranian weapons intended for groups in Syria and beyond. The facility is a key component of Russia’s permanent military presence in Syria, housing Su-24, Su-25, and Su-34 fighter jets, as well as reconnaissance L-20 M aircraft. The strike is believed to have been aimed at the Iranian weapons shipment, rather than the aircraft stationed at the base. The attack may have compromised Russian air defense systems, potentially forcing Russia to boost defenses around its bases in the region. This development could be a positive for Ukraine, as it reduces the number of Russian air defense systems available to counter Ukrainian forces.
