Israel Strikes Strategic Military Airport in Idlib Following Turkish Delegation Visit
Early Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces conducted eight airstrikes on the Abu al-Duhur military airport in eastern Idlib province, northwest Syria. The strikes targeted the runway and abandoned aircraft hangars, causing property damage to the airport's infrastructure but no reported casualties, according to Syrian military sources and state television. The attacks occurred shortly after a Turkish military delegation visited the site to repair the runway.
Located approximately 70 kilometers from the Turkish border, the base holds strategic significance due to its proximity to the Turkish sphere of influence and key transportation routes linking Idlib to northern Syria. If confirmed as an Israeli operation, this strike marks a notable deviation from Israel's recent operational policy regarding deep strikes within Syrian territory.
