Eight Israeli Airstrikes Hit Syria’s Abu Al-Duhur Airbase, No Casualties, State TV Reports
The strikes hit runway and storage facilities as Israel monitored signs that Syria was rebuilding its air force, officials and reports said.
- On Tuesday, four airstrikes hit the Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Idlib province, northwestern Syria, marking the first such attack since the fall of the Assad regime.
- The Abu al-Duhur military base changed hands repeatedly during the Syrian civil war, returning to forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad in early 2018 before his regime collapsed.
- Unidentified fighter jets targeted the airfield's runway; Syrian authorities reported no casualties or damage assessments as of Tuesday morning.
- The Hezbollah-affiliated Mayadeen network suggested Israel orchestrated the attack, though the IDF has not addressed recent strikes in Syria.
- Since Assad's fall, Idlib has been controlled by Syria's new government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, positioned about 70 kilometers from the Turkish border.
