Aleppo International Airport resumes service

DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Aleppo International Airport resumed service on Thursday morning after a day of being out of service due to an Israeli airstrike, an exclusive security source said.

The source told North Press, under the condition of anonymity, that since early hours of the day, Aleppo International Airport airlines resumed flights after the damage was fixed by maintenance teams.

Aleppo International Airport has faced recurrent Israeli airstrikes, leading to its temporary closure due to the significant damage inflicted on its runways.

An Israeli airstrike put, on Wednesday, Aleppo International Airport out of service.

On Oct. 12, Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus and Aleppo international airports, knocking them out of service.

Later on Oct. 22, Israeli airstrikes hit both Damascus and Aleppo international airports for the second time after they resumed operations, causing material damage to the runways at both airports and putting them out of service.

Israel frequently targets suspected positions of Iranian-backed militias in Syria in what appears to be an effort to curb their movement amid fears the Israel-Hamas conflict would escalate into a wider regional turmoil.
