IDF attacks targeted command posts and military warehouses, Beirut-based TV channel Al Mayadeen has noted
Israeli aircraft have bombed Syrian army facilities in Latakia and Tartus provinces, where Russian military bases are located, a Lebanese television channel Al Mayadeen reported, citing a correspondent.
According to the channel, the strikes targeted command posts and military warehouses used by the Syrian army, however, no information on possible casualties was provided.
Russian military forces are present in Syria at Khmeimim Air Base and a logistics support center in Tartus, located in the western part of the country along the Mediterranean coast. In 2017, Moscow and Damascus agreed to station Russian troops at these bases for a period of 49 years.
After militant groups led by Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) took control of Damascus last weekend, prompting Syrian President Bashar Assad to flee to Russia where he was granted asylum, the fate of Khmeimim and Tartus bases was under question. However, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, Russian diplomats have already discussed these issues with the HTS political committee.
