4 air strikes hit military airport in Syria's Idlib in first attack since al-Assad's fall
Syrian state media said the strikes damaged the runway and storage facilities, while no casualties were reported and Turkey was helping rehabilitate the base.
- Eight airstrikes hit the runway and storage facilities at the Abu Duhur military airbase in northwestern Syria on Tuesday, causing material damage but no reported casualties, according to Syrian state media Ekhbariya.
- The strikes followed a recent visit by a Turkish military delegation to the airfield as part of efforts to reactivate it, which Israel had monitored closely amid concerns over Syria rebuilding its air force.
- Located about 70 km from the Turkish border, the Abu Duhur base has been out of service as a dedicated military airfield since 2013 and currently serves as a training center for Syria's new army.
- United States special presidential envoy for Syria and Iraq Ambassador Tom Barrack described the strikes as an "unnecessary escalation," urging all parties to prioritize "logical discourse" over further military incidents.
- Heightened security tensions between Israel and Turkey over Syria have intensified since Bashar Assad's government collapsed in late 2024, as Israel continues preventing consolidation of hostile military infrastructure near its borders.
