The Israeli military said it struck the strategic T-4 military airport in Syria on Wednesday evening, while Syria reported strikes in other parts of the country as hostilities intensify.

The official SANA news agency reported that an Israeli airstrike hit near a scientific research building in Barzeh, a suburb of Damascus. The agency reported another Israeli airstrike on the outskirts of Hama in western Syria.

The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, saying in a statement late Wednesday that they targeted “military capabilities” at Syrian bases in Hama and T4, as well as other remaining military infrastructure in the Damascus area.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported an explosion near the scientific research building, saying the blast was “likely” caused by an Israeli strike.

Al Arabiya reported another Israeli strike........
