Syria’s air defenses intercept Israeli airstrikes targetting Damascus and Aleppo, resulting in reported damage to the runways.
Al Mayadeen correspondent in Damascus reported that the Syrian air defenses intercepted Israeli air strikes on the airports of Damascus and Aleppo.
Activists on social media shared images and footage of the targeting of the two airports
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Aleppo reported that the Syrian air defenses intercepted an attack targeting Aleppo Airport, reporting that the runway was damaged.
Correspondingly, Israeli media also reported an air strike on Damascus International Airport.
Shortly afterward, the Syrian Ministry of Defense issued a statement condemning the Israeli aggression.
“The aggression damaged the runways at Damascus and Aleppo airports and took them out of service,” the statement read.
“This is a desperate attempt by the criminal Zionist enemy to divert attention from its crimes in Gaza.”
The statement then framed this aggression as being part of a persistent strategy by “Israel” to indirectly support the takfiri terrorists in Syria, which serves as an extension for “Israel” in Syria.
