The targeted bases were manned by the Syrian army as well as Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and housed several missile warehouses, according to the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar.

There were clearly explosions @ the 47th Brigade base north of the Hama tonight. The site is known for hosting Iranian forces for years now. The base is within range of rebel rockets from northern Homs, but the locals tell me that rebels haven't been able to hit this base before.
