Multiple so far unconfirmed reports are coming in of a Sunday night air raid over Eastern Homs targeting several military facilities in Syria, including explosions at Syria's Tiyas Military Airbase (also known as T-4), as well as Al Sin and Al Shoryaat air bases.
The unconfirmed reports follow footage of jets crossing through Lebanon, while there are also reports that U.
S. warships have fired cruise missiles.BREAKING: Multiple reports of jets crossing from Lebanon airspace into Syria pic.twitter.com/LxJ0x4iuML
