@Ghislaine first of all I've seen a number of strikes on US bases and infrastructure throughout the region. radars, munition dumps, airfields

second, who's in those hotels or condos? the US personnel on the bases were evacuated ahead of time. where did they go? where's the CIA staying? contractors, diplomatic personnel, etc?

these were all likely targets handed out to local missile unit commanders based on signals intelligence and when we hit them, they fired on their preset targets of their own volition. that's why it's been a few missiles and drones here and there instead of large coordinated volleys

if there is some semblance of a coordinate response here, it's logical to hit a variety of geographically dispersed targets to force air assets to move around instead of concentrating in one spot. then when the real volley attacks start happening, the thinned out air defense will be unable to respond quickly and the volleys will be more effective. or, if the air defense *don't* thin out, volley attacks can be aimed at undefended areas instead until they're forced to respond
