Israel has reportedly struck a Russian airbase in Syria, causing a huge fire to break out.
Thirty missiles are reported to have hit the Khmeimim airbase in the early hours of Thursday morning. The IDF has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
The strike lasted 45 minutes and is believed to have been carried out by naval warships. Unverified video images show a huge fireball and flashes on the horizon.

Khmeimim airbase is located southeast of the city of Latakia and has been operated by the Russian military since 2017.
Syrian TV journalist Abdullah Almousa claimed a warehouse on the airbase had been targeted in the strikes.
He said the attack was connected to the delivery of Iranian cargo to the airbase in recent days by the Qeshm Fars Airlines.

But then, the Israelis are among the very few in that region of the world who can actually hit what they aim at, so...
How do you like them apples.
These guys are taking their nation’s defense VERY seriously.
I don’t know how important that base was to russia, but it was being used by Iran, so it didn’t matter whose flag was flying there.
“The IDF has not claimed responsibility for the attack...”

Moving closer every day to a world war.
Iranian weapons sent to that Russia base to be distributed to Putin’s Hezbollah allies.
Israel has been humiliating Russia in the Middle East for decades by revealing their weapons systems and training and tactics to be primitive by comparison. The Bekaa Valley Turkey Shoot in ‘82 was a highlight.
More:
“Israel bombed the base an hour after an Iranian Qeshm Fars Air plane arrived,” a journalist for the opposition Syrian TV station Syria TV writes.
According to BILD, the weapons were transported under the guise of “humanitarian aid for the Lebanese”.
No, moving back towards a world where you call out evil for what it is instead of hiding behind weak, woke, PC, rhetoric. Israel has turned its cheek for the last time. We should be so lucky to have leadership that believes in protecting its people.
Bullshit. If someone cocks a gun and aims it at your head, I advise you to shoot first. No one doubts who did this. More such humiliation should convince Putin of the folly of war with the West.
Russia has long had de facto alliances with the dictatorships, terrorists, and useful bad elements in the Mid East. This permits Russia to stir up trouble as they please with little adverse consequences for them. Now Israel has made the Russians pay a price.
I am beginning to think that your hatred of Russia is personal. Did a Russian rape you in prison or in a gay bathhouse?
Tell Putin to stop arming Hezbollah.
“Russia has long had de facto alliances with the dictatorships, terrorists, and useful bad elements in the Mid East. This permits Russia to stir up trouble as they please with little adverse consequences for them. Now Israel has made the Russians pay a price.”
And, thanks to Obama and his fellow Marxist reptiles, America does the same thing.
Again, in all seriousness, did a Russian rape you in prison or in a gay bathhouse? The passion that you have against Russia is personal in nature.
Tell Putin to stop condemning Israel.
Unverified British tabloid reporting.
Tell Putin to stop arming Hezbollah and Hamas.
Russian air defense stronk as bull!
