Syrian Civil War
During the Syrian Civil War, rebel groups had taken control of significant territory within the vicinity of Abu al-Duhur Air Base beginning in 2012. After surrounding the airbase for nearly three years, and killing at least 56 government soldiers in an early morning attack, the al-Nusra Front took control of the airbase in September 2015. A video showed a number of fighter jets that had been out of service for several years[1] mostly pulled to the side of the aprons, and rocket launchers.[2] On 10 January 2018, the Syrian army and allies recaptured the air base.[3] Over the course of the Syrian Civil War, the airbase was completely destroyed and rendered useless.
On 30 November 2024, rebel groups led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham recaptured the air base along with Shaheed Suad Al-Kayari Airport.[4]
