Israeli shelling targets military posts of Iranian militia in Palmyra, east of Homs province
[SYRIAHR] SOHR activists say that explosions were heard in eastern countryside of Homs, caused by regime anti-aircraft defences while intercepting strikes by Israeli aircraft from the airspace of Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
. The strikes have targeted military posts of Iranian militias in Palmyra desert, east of Homs province. No casualties have been reported yet.

On March 31, reliable sources informed SOHR that a cargo plane had shuttled between al-Shayrat and Tiffour airports before Israeli strikes.

The Syrian Observatory has monitored shelling by Israeli jets from the airspace of Lebanon, targeting al-Shayrat airbase in Homs with more than eight missiles. An explosion was heard believed to be caused by anti-aircraft defenses while intercepting these strikes.

#1  When I saw 'Shelling', was thinking arty.

Mighty good range on those guns I thought, but no.
