Air strikes have hit a military airport in Syria, multiple news outlets reported, citing Syrian state media. AFP and the BBC on Sunday night both cited Syrian state media as saying that the air base in question had been hit by the strikes. Loud explosions were heard above the air base, according to the BBC.

UPDATE 8

Intel speculation:

 Maybe Israel was hitting soft movable targets so they couldn't run like last time. The US and France will probably do larger more extensive strikes against hard targets.

UPDATE 9

Pentagon Statement on Syria:

"At this time, the Department of Defense is not conducting air strikes in Syria, we continue to closely watch the situation and support the ongoing diplomatic efforts to hold those who use chemical weapons, in Syria and otherwise, accountable."
