Claims to have reported this live on twitter. Includes 2 videos at source. Click on items @ link to go to tweets.

This is unconfirmed and uncorroborated so take it for what it is worth.

1- Eight helicopters came from the direction of Turkish border, began conducting strikes on targets west of the town of Barisha. Warplanes and UAVs are covering the helicopters.

2-Local sources denied that the helicopters carried out the strikes in response to AA fire. The attack was apparently planned, well planned.

3-At least two of the eight helicopters landed west of Barisha. However, it is unclear if a some special operation is being carried out there now.

4-Additional 4 helicopters joined the force around 15 min into the attack. At least 12 helicopters are now operating west of Barisha.

5-Local sources are talking about an operation to capture or kill a senior Jihadi figure. Unconfirmed reports says that at least one TIP militants has been killed, so far.

6-First video from Barisha, heavy clashes, helicopters can be heard. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

7-Now sources affiliated with HTS are claiming that there was no landing. They didn't deny the airstrikes, however. As most sources from Idlib, they can't be deemed 100% credible.

8-Local sources are now saying that the raid was carried out by US coalition helicopters.

9-A video showing one of the attack helicopters targeting something with its machine gun. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

10-Hippocrates are still flying around Barisha, reports of airstrikes on the village of Hitan, a few kilometers to the west.

11- UAVs are still flying over Barisha and its outskirt.

Correction: Helicopters

I know how to spell Summary before you all tear me a new one. That is the way it is spelled at the source.

link to video, not much to see but judging from the rhythm of the gunfire they are making passes using night vision.

Hellfire @ AA fire sources and hot spots looking like they are trying to fire a shoulder launched AA missile I would assume.

2500-year-old Greek fellers levitating overhead would give me pause, that's for sure.

“10-Hippocrates are still flying around Barisha”

I thought Trump didn’t tip off the Democrats.

for one thing, they can “hover and stare”, giving a God’s-eye view of the battlefield, which is pretty handy.

Here is the likely raid location:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2%B009’58.5%22N+36%C2%B037’39.3%22E/@36.16625,36.6270361,226m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d36.1662573!4d36.6275703

The compound was built last spring. Zoom out and see how close the Turkish border is. This area is controlled by the Turks, there is a Turkish Post office in town. Hmmm.

This was a deal with the Turks.
This is their territory, and the helicopters seem to have come from their airspace.

The Turks were protecting this guy. ISIS was at least in part a Turkish op.

We just degraded his ISIS spokesman, Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir, about 2 hours ago driving out of Ain al-Baydah, near Jarablus, heading for Turkey.

Hopefully we can degrade more of his command before the site intel gets stale.

Yep.
The Turks creatures.
They gave the guy up as part of a deal.

Degraded - almost as politically correct as right-sizing.
