Syria's Foreign Ministry condemned Tuesday's eight waves of attacks on Abu Duhur airport in Idlib, accusing Israel of being behind them. The US envoy to Syria also singled out Israel, calling the incident an "unnecessary escalation."

Late Tuesday, the Israeli prime minister's account on X wrote that Syria had violated an agreement by allowing Turkey to use a military base near Aleppo.

"Israel has repeatedly warned Syria," it writes, adding, "Israel will not tolerate threats to its security."
