[RIA Novosti] Israeli troops launched a missile attack on the international airport in Aleppo, some shells were intercepted, according to the Syrian state agency SANA.

"The air defense responded to the missiles of the Israeli aggressor and shot down several of them," the media said.

Later, the Syrian Ministry of Defense reported that the airport's runway was damaged and out of order due to shelling.

The Israeli military has recently been constantly inflicting airstrikes on various targets in Syria . In particular, Damascus , the port of Tartus and a research center in the city of Masyaf were subjected to shelling.

Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya condemned Israel 's ongoing attacks on Syrian territory, saying that long-term stability in the country can only be established after the illegal foreign military presence ceases.
Rudaw adds:
Israel launched a missile attack on Tuesday targeting Syria’s Aleppo airport for the second time in a week, this time putting it out of commission, Syrian state media said.

The Syrian government did not report any casualties. The transport ministry said all flights will be diverted to the capital, Damascus.

State media, citing a military source, reported that Syrian anti-missile defense systems fired back at what they said were Israeli missiles.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based opposition war monitor, the Arclight airstrike

s also destroyed warehouses belonging to Iran-backed militias.

Israel launched airstrikes at Aleppo airport last week, damaging its runway and, according to the war monitor, a warehouse that likely stored a shipment of Iranian rockets.

Last week’s strike tore a hole in the runway and also damaged a structure close to the military side of the airfield, satellite photos analyzed by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named showed.

Syria’s foreign minister last week said the attack "completely destroyed the navigation station with its equipment."
