This comes two days after Israeli airstrikes hit several sites in the vicinity of Homs while violating Lebanon's airspace. Simultaneously, the Syrian air defenses intercepted the missiles and shot some of them down.

The aggression left three civilian injuries, as well as material damages, including several trucks and an oil tank vehicle, Syria's Defense Ministry said.

In March, the Syrian Ministry of Transport announced the resumption of air traffic through Aleppo International Airport tomorrow after repairing the damage caused by Israeli aggression on March 7.
