Israeli airstrikes force closure of Aleppo airport – Syrian state media

Syrian military source says latest attacks forced flights to be diverted to Damascus and Latakia

Israeli airstrikes on Aleppo airport in northern Syria have caused the grounding of flights, the Syrian state news agency Sana has reported, citing a military source.

During more than 12 years of civil war in Syria, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes on its territory, primarily targeting Iran-backed forces and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, as well as Syrian army positions.
