Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Syria reported that both Damascus and Aleppo international airports were targeted by Israeli airstrikes early Sunday morning. 

Our correspondent reported that four missiles targeted the Aleppo Airport, while local sources reported that air defenses intercepted some of the missiles fired. 

He mentioned that the attack on Damascus airport killed one civilian worker, injured another, and resulted in material damage.

Sounds of bombing were also reportedly heard in the vicinity of the Damascus airport. 

Last week, on October 15, Aleppo International Airport’s runway was targeted by an Israeli airstrike.
