SOHR: Israeli airstrike puts Syrian airport out of commission
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 airstrikes also destroyed warehouses belonging to Iran-backed militias.
