Aleppo International Airport on Monday morning was shut down following aerial attacks which Syrian media attributed to Israel.
“At about 4:30 a.m. on Monday, the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial act of aggression from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Lattakia, targeting Aleppo Airport,” a military source told SANA.
The source added that the the airport was forced to shut down due to damage caused to the airport runway.
This is not the first time this month in which Syrian media has attributed aerial attacks on Syrian targets to Israel.
Earlier in August, The Alma Research and Education Center reported that Iran is working to seize control of an extensive network of Syrian military industry facilities, collectively known by their French acronym of CERS.
Israel Defense Forces Maj. (res.) Tal Beeri, head of research at the Alma Center, told the Tazpit Press Service that “the prominent takeover of the Syrian defense industries by Iran is expressed through its takeover of CERS. Today, the Syrian CERS Center operates under full Iranian patronage.”
The report also warned of the possibility of Hezbollah taking possession of chemical substances present as CERS, which are being stored by the Assad regime, and using them to produce chemical weapons for use against Israeli military forces or civilians in a future conflict.
