Sana quoted a military source as saying that Aleppo Airport was subjected to an air attack by Israel from the Mediterranean Sea side, west of the coast city of Latakia, at 23.35 local time.
Though Damascus is the capital, Aleppo is Syria’s most populous city.
The attack caused damage to the airport and put it out of service, Sana reported.
Local sources told Anadolu that Aleppo International Airport has been targeted by three separate missile attacks.
Officially, this is the second attack on the airport within 24 hours.
On Friday, Israel simultaneously targeted the international airports in Damascus and Aleppo, putting them out of service.
The attacks come amid Israel’s airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since Oct 7. - BERNAMA-ANADOLU
