Syria Blames Israel For Repeated Airstrikes On Aleppo Airport In Damascus

According to state news agency SANA, the first airstrike damaged the airport in northern Syria. He did not provide further details. Images posted on social media appear to show several fires in the area. Aleppo is a large city in northern Syria, near its border with Turkey, and is an unusual – though not unprecedented – site for the reported Israeli airstrikes. The last reported Israeli strikes in the area were in July 2021.

(@SyriawatanNews) August 31, 2022 The news agency claimed that a number of “enemy missiles” were shot down over Damascus and the surrounding countryside. Syria regularly claims to intercept Israeli missiles, although military analysts doubt such claims. SANA reported damage to several locations hit by the attack near Damascus, without giving further details. There were no immediate reports of injuries from the alleged attacks. As a rule, Israel’s military does not comment on specific strikes in Syria, but has admitted to carrying out hundreds of sorties against Iranian-backed groups trying to gain a foothold in the country. It also says it is attacking arms shipments believed to be destined for those groups, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah. According to Aurora Intel, a network that provides news and updates based on open source information, an Iranian cargo plane landed at Aleppo airport earlier Wednesday. #Iran|ian OFAC approved EP-GOX Yas Air Cargo landed in Aleppo earlier today it seems. pic.twitter.com/G8JcczzR3Y — Aurora Intel (@AuroraIntel) August 31, 2022 Earlier this year, airstrikes attributed to Israel caused extensive damage to Damascus International Airport, disrupting air traffic for two weeks. In general, relatively large weapons are believed to be smuggled through Syria on Iranian cargo airlines, which often land at Damascus International and Tiyas or T-4 Air Base, outside the central Syrian city of Palmyra. The weapons are then believed to be stored in warehouses in the area before being trucked to Lebanon. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war watchdog with unclear funding, immediately claimed that Wednesday’s airstrike near Aleppo targeted four warehouses “likely” containing shipments of Iranian missiles. The unverified claim was highlighted by the Jewish media, despite the fact that the organization, which is run by a single person, has been regularly accused by Syrian war analysts of false reports, inflating casualty figures, as well as inventing them from the entire fabric.
