Marking the third attack on Aleppo airport in six months, the Israel regime launched “a number of missiles from the Mediterranean Sea, west of the coastal city of Latakia, at 3:55 am” (00:55 GMT), the defense ministry said early on Wednesday in a statement on Facebook, Aljazeera reported.

Axar.az reports that earlier this month, Syrian state media said that an Israeli regime's air raid on Aleppo’s airport had damaged a runway, which was taken out of service.

The attack on Aleppo’s airport, a city that was heavily damaged in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which hit southern Turkiye and northwestern Syria in February, forced the rerouting of humanitarian aid to Damascus and Latakia, according to state media.

The Israeli regime has carried out hundreds of air attacks against Syria but rarely admits responsibility.
