Iran says Israel’s attack on the air base in Syria’s Homs will not go unanswered. Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior international affairs advisor to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said – quote – this crime will not remain without a response. He said that Iran would strongly defend Syria’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty. According to Press TV, Syrian air defense systems shot down five out of eight missiles fired by two Israeli F-15 warplanes from Lebanon. Several people were killed and wounded.
