Israeli planes bombed at least three major Syrian army air bases that housed dozens of helicopters and jets in the biggest such wave of strikes on air bases since Bashar Assad was toppled, two Syrian security sources said. Qamishli air base in north east Syria, Shinshar base in the countryside of Homs and Aqrba airport southwest of the capital Damascus were all hit, the sources said. It has also waged several strikes on a research center on the outskirts of Damascus and a center for electronic warfare near Sayeda Zainab area of the capital.
