Reports are pouring in of US and French aircraft headed towards Syria for what we assume is a major operation if true. As of now, these reports remains unconfirmed:

Amid the loud war drums, the EU’s air traffic control body, Eurocontrol, has issued a 72-hour Rapid Alert Notification to flight operators in the eastern Mediterranean – warning of possible rocket launches into Syria.
“Due to the possible launch of air strikes into Syria with air-to-ground and / or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours, and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken when planning flight operations in the Eastern Mediterranean / Nicosia FIR area,” reads the alert.

For now an imminent airstrike appears unlikely as Russian warplanes are still in the air, and the US will hardly risk taking down a Russian fighter jet.

However, according to subsequent reports, Russia appears to have received a warning as Russian military helicopters are reportedly relocating from the T-4 – which was struck by Israel on Monday morning – and Dumeyir airbases in Southern Syria to Hmeymim.

The notification comes on the heels of several geopolitical developments in response to last weekend’s alleged chemical attack on Syrian rebels.
- The USS Donald Cook has been parked off of Syrian waters, and has been buzzed by Russian pilots
- President Trump has deployed the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) to the Mediterranean Wednesday, where it will join the USS Donald Cook off Syrian territorial waters.
- Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, speaking shoulder-to-shoulder with Emmanuel Macron from Paris, announced his “readiness to work with allies on any military response in Syria if needed.”
- Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to investigate the chemical attack. Russia’s UN envoy says the draft was designed to fail, which would thus “justify” unauthorized action in Syria.
- Russia is jamming military signals for some US drones operating in the skies over Syria, according to NBC, which cited four military officials.
There is some good news: according to the Pentagon Press Parking Index (PPPI) strikes against Syria tonight are unlikely:
