Syrian regime accuses Israel of bombing Aleppo airport

Aug. 31 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Syrian Armed Forces have accused Israel of carrying out several bombings on Syrian territory on Wednesday, in particular against the airport in the city of Aleppo and against areas surrounding the capital, Damascus.

Initially, military sources quoted by the official news agency SANA reported an attack with several missiles on the Aleppo airfield. At least one of these shells caused “material damage” to the facilities.

Within an hour, they reported a second attack, targeting Damascus and the rural areas surrounding the Syrian capital.

This offensive comes less than a week after the last attacks attributed to Israel in Syria, although there had been no bombings on Aleppo airport since 2019, reports ‘The Jerusalem Post’. Officially, neither the Government nor the Israel Defense Forces comment on these operations.
