Syrian media reports Israeli airstrikes in the Damascus area, as well as against two airbases elsewhere in the country.

The Sham TV outlet says strikes were carried out at the Barzeh scientific research center, just outside the capital, as well as against the Hama military airport in western Syria and the T-4 airbase near Palmyra.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.

The IDF struck the T-4 base twice in recent weeks, saying it destroyed “strategic military capabilities.”

Turkey has reportedly shown interest in taking over the T-4 base to train the new Syrian army.
