CAIRO, March 7 ― An Israeli air strike on Syria's Aleppo International Airport damaged its runway and took the airport out of service, Syrian state news agency SANA reported early today, citing a military source.
Syrian air defences intercepted missiles launched from the Mediterranean Sea, west of the coastal city of Latakia, at 2.07am local time, SANA added.
Last year, Israel intensified strikes on Syrian airports to disrupt Tehran's increasing use of aerial supply lines to deliver arms to allies in Syria and Lebanon, including Hezbollah. ― Reuters
