Four Israeli missiles targeted a runway at Aleppo airport and warehouses in its vicinity, causing fire and explosions, likely due to the outbreak of a batch of Iranian missiles, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.
The official Syrian News Agency (SANA) quoted a military source as saying that Israel launched a missile on Aleppo airport, adding that the aggression caused some material damage.
An hour after the Aleppo airport was targeted, the Observatory monitored Israeli shelling of military sites in the al-Kaswa area in Damascus countryside, coinciding with the air defenses attacking targets over the region. No casualties have been reported.
This is the 23rd Israeli attack on Syrian territory in 2022.
The last Israeli strike in Syria was recorded last week, when missile shelling targeted sites in the vicinity of Hama and Tartous in western Syria.
On August 25, the Observatory reported that Israeli jets renewed their attacks in the west Hama countryside.
The airstrikes targeted positions and warehouses of Iranian-backed militias on Wadi al-Oyoun road, west of Masyaf and the Scientific Research Center.
Weapons and ammunition were destroyed while the fire broke out in areas in the Masyaf countryside against the backdrop of Israeli shelling and defense missiles that tried to confront the strikes. No casualties were reported.
