Syria and Russia are accusing Israel of carrying out an early morning missile strike on a Syrian air base in the central province of Homs.
They say Syrian air defenses shot down five out of eight missiles fired by two Israeli F-15 warplanes. A monitoring group in Britain claims the missile attack killed 14 fighters, including allied Iranian forces. There was initial speculation the United States was responsible, but the Pentagon denied any involvement.
