|
[Rudaw] An Israeli Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
struck Syria’s Aleppo airport early on Wednesday, for the second time this month, causing material damage according to Syrian state media.
"Around 3:55 AM, the Israeli enemy launched an airstrike with a number of missiles... targeting the vicinity of Aleppo International Airport", SANA reported, adding that it caused material damage to the airport that has been crucial for the delivery of earthquake relief.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted a weapon depot within the vicinity of the airport belonging to Iranian-backed fighters.
It added that the depot had been "completely destroyed." There are no reports of casualties from the airstrike.
On March 7, a drone attack on the airport killed three people and rendered the airport out of service as a result of material damage.
Israeli airstrike targeted Syria’s Tartus and Hama provinces on March 12, injuring at least three Syrian soldiers, state media reported.
In February, an Israeli attack targeted "Iranian militia and Lebanese  Hezbollah" near an Iranian cultural center in the capital Damascus killing 15 people, according to SOHR.
SANA quoted an unnamed military official as saying the strike caused no deaths or injuries.
It said warplanes fired the missiles toward Aleppo while flying over the Mediterranean.
The Syrian Ministry of Transport announced, on Wednesday, that the recent Israeli airstrike caused material damages to Aleppo International Airport and put it out of service.
Early on Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike targeted Aleppo Airport, causing material damage, in a second attack this month, the Syrian Ministry of Defense announced.
After assessing the damages of the attack, the Ministry of Transport posted on its Facebook account that the runway and some navigational equipment sustained damages.
Flights through the airport will resume after finishing the renovation works, the ministry added.
It noted that the flights were rerouted to Damascus International Airport and Bassel al-Assad International Airport in Latakia.
