Syria Reports Air Strikes on Aleppo Airport, Damascus

The skies over Syria were busy with missiles on Wednesday night, with an alleged Israeli Air Force attack aimed first at Aleppo International Airport and then just an hour later, aimed at Damascus International Airport.

The first attack took place at around 8 pm local time. It was followed about an hour later by another, this time aimed at the airport serving Syria’s capital, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

But such successive air strikes in one night, just an hour apart, are rare. Multiple reports speculated that Israel was trying to stop an Iranian cargo plane from landing first at Aleppo. When the aircraft redirected to Damascus, warplanes returned to prevent the Iranian plane from landing there as well.
