If the group goes in on foot, have them do some recon of the site (take samples of the chems, or photo the barels, etc.), rescue some international aid folks being used as hostages, and/or capture a chemical scientist. If it's just an attack, the missiles could do that, IMO.

En route, they will gear up and parachute out to an LZ a few miles from the facility.

They can fly through the night on their parachutes, wearing NVGs and shooting with silenced weapons on the final approach before landing on the roof.

photograph whatever they can/grab hard drives etc.,

Yes.

and use Semtex charges at two foundation locations to collapse the building.

I'd skip this part. If they get good intel maybe they get the satisfaction of watching this place blowup from the safety of a Predator feed beamed to carrier in the Med.

remote site for exfiltration

Capture a truck or meet a local who has a truck. Ditch the mission equipment and pose as journalists or aid workers, visit a refuge camp, and exfil that way. That or do something flashy -- like a Pavelow exfil, SDV, JPADs delivery of paraglider, etc. http://www.paramotors-usa.com/102/pr...ifications.php

convoy carrying a High Value Target like a high-ranking Syrian officer, known war criminal, Hezbollah lieutenant, something like that.

The electronic comms the team will have probably cannot be compromised when transmitting, but if they are captured, it will ID them.

The convoy defenders will be tougher, more like peers to the PCs.

I would doubt anyone of that caliber is available, but a notch above the line troops is possible. They may be very capable mercs of an international variety, too, but not equals to the SAD guys.

Should the team have to take out the hardlines and use a radio/cell jammer, or just assume they'll be in and out quick enough to avoid reinforcements?

All of the above.
