Airstrikes Hit Syrian Military Airbase

Four aerial attacks targeted Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Idlib province overnight; identity of attacking aircraft unknown as Damascus remains silent

Mystery Airstrikes Hit Syrian Military Airbase Near Turkish Border

Arab media outlets reported Tuesday morning that four airstrikes were carried out overnight Monday into Tuesday against the Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Syria's northwestern Idlib province. The strikes occurred approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) from the Turkish border, in the eastern countryside of Idlib.

According to the reports, the identity of the aircraft that conducted the strikes remains unknown, and Damascus has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. The official silence from Syrian authorities has raised questions about the nature and objectives of the attack.

The strikes were directed at the airbase's runway, according to Al Jazeera. All four attacks precisely targeted the takeoff and landing strip at the military base located in Idlib's eastern rural area. The focused targeting of the runway may indicate an attempt to disable aerial operations at the facility.

Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen channel, which is affiliated with the Hezbollah terror organization, raised the possibility that Israel was behind the attack. However, Israeli officials have not commented on the reports.
