An Israeli air attack on Syria’s Aleppo airport on Tuesday has damaged the runway and taken it out of service, Syrian state media quoted a military source as saying.

The Israel missile attack was launched from the Mediterranean Sea, west of the coastal city of Latakia, at 8:16 p.m. local time (17:16 GMT), the source said. Syrian air defenses intercepted Israeli missiles, downing several of them, the Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported.

Israel has intensified strikes on Syrian airports to disrupt Tehran’s increasing use of aerial supply lines to deliver arms to allies in Syria and Lebanon including Hezbollah, regional diplomatic and intelligence sources told Reuters.
