25th Israeli attack | Explosions hit Damascus International Airport area and its countryside

SOHR activists have monitored an Israeli attack on positions in Al-Ghasola farms (Mazarae’ Al-Ghasola) near Damascus International Airport, the vicinity of Al-Sayda Zainab area and Al-Kaswa area in Rif Dimashq, where Iran-backed militias are stationed, coinciding with regime’s Aerial Defence’s attempts to shoot targets over the southern region.

It is worth noting that this is the 25th Israeli attack on Syrian territory in 2022.

On September 7, SOHR sources confirmed that three people were killed, and five others were wounded, by Israeli strikes on Aleppo International Airport and its vicinity.

SOHR sources had also confirmed that six Israeli strikes targeted the airport and its surroundings, severely damaging the airport runway and putting the airport out of service.
