U.S. strike was a bit of theatre - well the airbase is already operational again.

"Two Syrian jets on Friday took off from the air base that was hit by U.S. missiles and carried out strikes on areas under ISIS control in the countryside of eastern Homs province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Syrian government responded to Thursday night's U.S. aistrike on its Shayrat Air Base in Homs province by quickly fixing the base and allowing the two planes to take off from there, the human rights organization said.

A U.S. official said Syrian planes took off from the airfield Friday but did not confirm the airstrikes.

The official noted that as many as 20 Syrian aircraft were destroyed in Thursday's airstrikes but added that the missiles did not target every aircraft at the base and that the runway was untouched."

Trump said the reason they don't target runways was because they are quick and cheaply fixed.
