“Early Tuesday morning, unknown aircraft bombed the Abu Duhur military airport in Idlib province,” said a source speaking anonymously.

No one has claimed responsibility for the strikes on the airport, which suffered significant damage during the Syrian civil war.
The Israeli military declined to comment on AFP’s inquiry about the attacks carried out.
