Posted on 2nd Jan 2023 by rohit kumar

The Israeli army fired missiles at the Syrian capital's international airport on Monday morning amid rising tensions between Israel and Syria. The Syrian army said that two soldiers were killed in the attack, while two others were injured. After this incident, the airport has been temporarily closed. Let us tell you that this is the second attack by the Israeli army on Damascus airport in the last seven months.

 

damage to surrounding areas

The Syrian army has not given much information on this matter but it has been told that this attack has caused material damage in the surrounding area. Israel targets Syrian air bases and ports to prevent Iran's air supply of weapons to terrorist groups backed by Tehran, including Lebanon's Hezbollah.

 

Weapon depot was also targeted

At the same time, an organization monitoring the ongoing tension between the two countries said that Israeli attacks targeted the airport as well as an arms depot in Damascus, killing four people. However, no statement has come out from Israel's side on this.

 

Even before the runway was damaged

Earlier on 10 June, Israeli airstrikes caused significant damage to the infrastructure and runway of Damascus International Airport. It was reopened two weeks after repairs. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria in recent years, but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations.

 

Terrorist groups help Syria

Israel has acknowledged it often targets militant groups in Iran's ally Lebanon, which has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces. These fighters have been involved in Syria's 11-year civil war and helped tip the balance of power in Assad's favor.
