Aleppo airport to reopen after recent Israeli airstrikes

• 

Flights from Aleppo International Airport will be resuming after the infrastructure damaged by a recent Israeli strike underwent repairs.

On Tuesday, the Syrian News Agency SANA reported that "an Israeli aggression targeted Aleppo Airport in Syria," after confirming that three explosions were heard in the sky of the city. Al Mayadeen correspondent in Aleppo stated that "the raids on Aleppo Airport targeted the airstrip for civil aircraft."

The damage that the runway sustained had rendered the airport out of service. However, the transport ministry has announced that the repairs are now completed and the airport is ready to reopen. 

SANA revealed that the ministry announced that air traffic will resume from midday. 

The recent aggression comes six days after the Israeli enemy targeted Aleppo International Airport with a missile strike, which caused material damage, according to a Syrian military source.

Previously, on August 31, the Syrian air defense forces repelled Israeli missile aggression against Damascus and Aleppo.

On August 25, two civilians were wounded as a result of Israeli occupation air strikes on the western Hama and Tartus regions.

On August 14, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Syrian air defenses engaged Israeli missiles targeting points in the vicinity of the city of Tartus, noting that the aggression was carried out by Israeli warplanes from over Lebanese territory.
