Syria says
a new "Israeli" aerial aggression has targeted Aleppo
international airport in northwestern Syria, putting the facility out of
service.
Citing a
military source, the official Syrian Arab News Agency [SANA] said the air raid
was conducted at around 04:30 a.m. local time [0130 GMT] on Monday.
“The
‘Israeli’ enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of the
Mediterranean, west of Latakia, targeting Aleppo International Airport,” the
source added.
“The
aggression caused material damage to the airport runway and put it out of
service.”
There were
no reports of casualties so far.
Back in
May, the Tel Aviv regime staged a similar attack on the Aleppo airport, killing
one Syrian soldier and wounding several other people.
It also
struck the airport on two different occasions in March and put it out of
commission for several days.
The “Israeli”
entity frequently attacks the positions of Syria's military and its allies
since 2011, when the Arab country found itself in the grip of rampant
foreign-backed violence and terrorism.
The
regime's attacks mostly target the positions of Syria's allies that have been
aiding the country in its uphill battle against foreign-sponsored terror
groups.
Damascus
has repeatedly complained to the United Nations over the “Israeli” assaults,
urging the world body's Security Council to take action against Tel Aviv’s
crimes. Its demands, however, have fallen on deaf ears.
