About two weeks ago, Syria accused Israel that two people were killed in an attack near the capital Damascus. This, after an attack near the city of Aleppo, in the northwest of the country. The Lebanese “Al-Mayadeen” network reported that the target of the attack was apparently the city’s international airport, into which “several missiles were fired” and that it was damaged. According to the report, “the Israeli Air Force attacked one of the airport’s runways and ammunition depots adjacent to it.”
