The Israeli Air Force carried out a missile strike on the Aleppo International Airport, resulting in the airport being rendered inoperable. The Defense Ministry of the Arab republic conveyed this information in a statement reported by the SANA news agency.
"The Israeli enemy carried out a new act of aggression against Syria, launching a missile strike on Aleppo International Airport at 04:30," - the document stated. - "Consequently, the runway suffered damage, and material losses were incurred."
As clarified by the Syrian Defense Ministry, the attack originated from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Aleppo airport has experienced two suspensions of operations this year due to Israeli airstrikes. On March 7, the airport remained non-operational for over two weeks following an Israeli attack. Humanitarian aid deliveries intended for the population affected by the February 6 earthquake were temporarily rerouted to Latakia and Damascus.
