Israeli Strikes Knock Aleppo Airport Out of Service | Farsnews Agency

The Israeli regime attacked the Aleppo International Airport located in Northwestern Syria for a second time in less than a week.

The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported the strikes on Tuesday.

"At around 08:16 pm (17:16 GMT), the Israeli enemy fired missiles from the Mediterranean Sea...targeting Aleppo International Airport, damaging the runway and rendering it (the facility) out of service," it said.

Reporting earlier, SANA said Syrian air defenses had intercepted some of the incoming missiles.

Syria's private airline Cham Wings announced that all flights to and from Aleppo would be routed to the capital Damascus due to the strikes.
