A HEAVY flight of US-led coalition warplanes have reportedly been seen flying over the Iraqi border as a nerve gas counter attack looms.

Civilian planes were said to have been ordered to clear the airspace over Syria by the US military for at least 48 hours as flight radar shows aircraft diverting.

The European air traffic controller has warned airlines to “exercise caution” in the Eastern Mediterranean due to the possible launch of airstrikes in Syria in the next 72 hours.

Nafiseh Kohnavard, a reporter for the BBC, tweeted: "Airlines that are still using Syria’s airspace have received a request to change their corridors for the next 48 hours.

Syria MISSILE STRIKE 'within hours': Eastern Mediterranean on ALERT for 'possible launch'

BRITISH and French forces could launch an imminent missile strike on Syria within a matter of hours, aviation monitors have revealed.

As Trump considers military action on Syria, Pentagon worries it could put Russian soldiers in the crosshairs

As Pentagon planners ready a possible military response to a suspected poison gas attack in Syria, one danger has sparked special concern — whether U.S. airstrikes may inadvertently kill Russian soldiers in Syria and escalate the regional war into a confrontation between Washington and Moscow.

The chances of a potential clash would increase if President Trump opts for a heavy bombardment, employing not only Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from Navy ships offshore — as he did last year after a previous chemical attack — but manned bombers and other warplanes to strike multiple targets inside Syria, current and former officials say.

Aircraft are definitely giving Syria a wide berth.

We certainly don’t need another MH17 incident.
