Israel hits abandoned Abu al-Duhur airbase in Syria's Idlib

Israeli warplanes conducted four airstrikes on the abandoned Abu al-Duhur military airport in the eastern countryside of Idlib province early Wednesday, striking the strategic facility in northern Syria without causing any reported casualties, according to local sources.

Pre-dawn attack

The strikes hit the disused airbase at approximately 3 a.m. local time (0000GMT), local sources reported. Syrian authorities have not issued any statement regarding the incident, and no casualty figures have been released by either Damascus or local medical facilities.

Escalating operations

Israel has expanded its military campaign across Syria since the fall of the Assad regime in December, repeatedly targeting weapons depots and strategic military installations. Earlier operations focused on positions held by Iranian forces and Hezbollah throughout Syrian territory.
