Israeli Airstrike Renders Damascus Airport Inoperative

Strikes occur hours after the airport resumed operations, forcing incoming flights to be diverted.

An Israeli airstrike on Sunday hit the international airport in Damascus, Syria, rendering it out of service.
Israel has previously targeted Syria's Damascus and Aleppo international airports multiple times since the onset of the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza on October 7.
The strikes occurred just hours after the airport resumed flights following a month-long hiatus due to a previous Israeli strike.
Flights scheduled to arrive in Damascus were diverted to Latakia and Aleppo.
Israel typically does not acknowledge its airstrikes on Syria, but when it does, it claims to target Iranian-backed groups supporting President Bashar Assad's government.
