Israel on Wednesday targeted the international airport in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo with an airstrike, damaging its runway. Giving this information, the Syrian government news agency said that this airport, which has become a victim of airstrikes for the second time in a month, has been closed for the time being. The SANA news agency quoted a military official as saying that Israeli warplanes fired missiles towards Aleppo while flying over the Mediterranean Sea.
It is the largest city and commercial center of Syria. There is no mention of any reason or casualties for this attack in the news. Syria’s civil aviation chief, Basim Mansour, said the airport’s runway was closed due to damage in the attack. He said that repairs were being done and the airport would be made operational soon. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israel’s strike on the airport destroyed an arms depot of an Iran-backed militia located nearby.
This airport is one of the main means of providing aid to the country after the February 6 earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Significantly, in the earthquake on February 6, more than 50,000 people were killed, out of which more than 6,000 people were from Syria. The airport had also come under air attack on March 7 earlier this month, after which it remained closed for several days.
