The hit point at the very bottom is in the Iraqi section of Al-Assad near the Su-25 tarmac.
Don't misunderstand: I'm not saying an Iraqi aircraft was potentially hit. The images showed mainly the rotary wing and part of the UAV storage. No idea what Coalition fixed-wing units are active in Al-Assad besides Logistics.
Here's an example of the shelters with an American jet from November 2011. 
Looking at some older images from the impact sites:
The tents on the right are Shasta Shelters. The model looks like an "interim facility", meaning they are for temporary storage. Which is why there is less in the sat images from today.
As for the building on the left - I'm not so sure what it is exactly. Some Marines I know are telling me it might've been the Chow Hall from the OIF days, but they're not entirely sure.
The other site hit looks like it was populated with two Shasta temp shelters before the missile strikes last night.
looks to be the same case here too. The possible Chow Hall is the white circle on the right.
Regarding this last area, looks like it was an impact near the perimeter where the Aviation Brigade is staged at. I have no idea what to make of that burn unless it was fuel or something.
This part of Al-Assad used to be the wing for the Marine Corps Heavy Lift Squadrons until 2009, but was later re-purposed.
The structure that was hit looks like an overhang for maintenance equipment. Even the tent is still around from 2009 footage.

Adding the full picture that made its rounds on twitter to the thread.
So what we've seen so far was tarmac, hardened shell on Iraqi side, numerous shasta temp shelters, and a maintenance overhang having been targeted. What's not known is the content of these shelters.

By the way, in the youtube video(nevermind the title lol) 2 replies up, you can even see one of the shasta shelters being built.
