March 23 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Syrian Minister of Transport has reported that the Aleppo airport will reopen this Friday after the bombing suffered on Wednesday and that it has been blamed on Israel, as reported by the Syrian state news agency, SANA.
The bombardment took place around 03:55 (local time) from a point on the Mediterranean Sea and according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the target of the attack was “an arms warehouse belonging to Iranian militias in the vicinity of the airport”. .
In this way, it is the second time that the Aleppo airport has been targeted by the Israeli Armed Forces in recent weeks. In early March, air traffic was temporarily suspended for several days to carry out repair operations after the previous attack.
This airport was receiving numerous flights with international humanitarian aid for those affected by the earthquakes that struck the border area between Turkey and Syria on February 6, which left more than 50,000 dead in both countries, including nearly 6,000 in Syrian territory.
Israel generically recognizes attacks in Syria arguing that it acts to prevent the establishment of Iranian bases in the country and the shipment of weapons to the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah by the Iranian authorities, which support Damascus within the framework of the war that broke out in 2011.
