At their base in Tapa, we found immense, echoey hangars rammed with armoured vehicles.

"Some of the war planes in this hangar are very, very big, including the Vulcan and the Valiant," Mr Picken said.

In the hangar we watched the crew maintaining the aircraft, surrounded by packing cases and spare parts.

The Israeli military said it targeted Syrian antiaircraft batteries, missile depots, manufacturing facilities, drones, helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, hangars, radars and 15 naval vessels.

Helinet plans to spend $25 million redeveloping the airport facility, demolishing two deteriorating hangars and building two new ones, along with new office space, shops and other improvements.
