Damascus airport is set to reopen on Thursday, nearly two weeks after Israeli attacks made its runways inoperable, according to Syria's transport ministry. 

After Israeli air attacks on June 10 destroyed the runways, control tower, reception rooms, and hangars, Syrian officials were forced to cease flights and conduct extensive repairs.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Transport Ministry stated that the airport would be back in service by tomorrow.

"Damascus International Airport is back in service as of tomorrow," the Syrian Transport Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Israel" has carried out hundreds of air strikes against Syria in the last few years, completely violating the integrity and sovereignty of Syria and neighboring countries, such as Lebanon. 

Last week, a report by the Wall Street Journal revealed that the US pre-screens raids launched by "Israel" against Syria.

Behind the curtains, current and former officials say that for several years, many Israeli missions have been reviewed in advance for approval by senior officials at US Central Command and the Pentagon.
