Syria's Aleppo airport struck in alleged Israeli airstrike, damage caused

The Aleppo International Airport in Syria was struck on Saturday afternoon in an alleged Israeli airstrike, according to Syrian media.

"At approximately 5:20 pm today, the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Latakia, targeting several points south of the city of Aleppo.

"The aggression resulted in some material losses," said Syrian state media SANA.

Lebanese media claim 3 killed and 2 wounded from the strike. 

"Three civilians were martyred and two wounded as a result of the Israeli aggression that targeted the farms of the village of Al-Dhahabiya in the southern countryside of Aleppo," Lebanese news site Al Mayadeen reported.

Other strikes in Syria

On Friday, airstrikes hit buildings and an eight-truck convoy used by pro-Iran militias in the Syrian border town of Albukamal near a border crossing to Iraq.

A commander from the Iraqi Shiite Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) said that four people were killed in the strikes, according to Reuters.

However, the same commander denied that any PMF troops had been killed in the strike.

Members of the PMF accused America of bombing the town and killing 5, including some Lebanese nationals.

The number of martyrs increased to 5, including Lebanese individuals, as a result of the brutal American bombing on the city of Albukamal on the Iraqi-Syrian border.
