The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced that Israeli airstrikes had targeted both Syrian military air defense systems at that site and Damascus airport.
It is important to note that the Damascus International Airport only opened yesterday, and the first departing flight after nearly 65 days of repairs from previous Israeli strikes, was an Al-Sham Wings Company plane that flew to Moscow.
There has been no word from the Syrian Ministry of Transport if the airport is closed again.
This is developing.
