An Israeli missile strike on Damascus Airport in Syria has killed four people including two soldiers and closed the runways for several hours, a rights monitor said. This is the second time in less than seven months that Damascus International Airport – where Iranian-backed armed groups and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters are present – has been hit by Israel.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a United Kingdom-based monitoring group, reported that the Israeli raids hit the airport as well as an arms depot close to the facility south of Damascus.
