Israeli airstrikes on Syria targeted the Aleppo airport early Monday morning, knocking it out of service, Syria’s SANA news agency reported.
“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.
No casualties were reported in the attack, but the source said it caused material damage to the airport runway, putting it out of service. The strikes mark the fifth time since September 2022 that Israeli airstrikes shut down the Aleppo airport and the fourth time this year.
Aleppo was devastated by the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on February 6, and the city’s airport became a vital channel for aid. But that did not stop Israeli attacks. Israeli airstrikes put the Aleppo airport out of commission twice in March and again in May.
Monday’s airstrikes marked at least the 23rd time that Israel bombed Syria this year. The last known strike hit targets near Damascus on August 21, wounding at least one Syrian soldier.
Earlier this year, Israeli Defense Yoav Gallant said that the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled airstrikes in Syria since it came to power at the end of December 2022. Israel frames its airstrikes in Syria as operations against Iran and Hezbollah, but the attacks often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure.
You go Zionists–kick them in the face while they’re down. Gotta keep that oil flowing and the profits coming in.
Its keeping Hezbollah terrorists at bay.
Hezbollah are not terrorists. They are are a resistance movement much like the IRA in Northern Ireland who resisted British aggression and occupiers or the French resistance fighting the Nazi occupiers. It goes on and on throughout history. The zionists are now the pre-eminent occupiers aided and abetted by the corrupt America.
The Zionists have returned to their native lands,after 2000 years of inhumane abuse while in exile.
Dier Yassan, et a, where women and children were killed. U.S.S. Liberty. More than 750,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, homes that had been theirs for 2,000 years.
The attack on the Liberty by the Zionist tells you they can do what ever they like and America will do nothing , if that had been anyone else America would have declared war on them .
come on Knapp, you removed my comment =
[ethnic slur deleted by moderator. That’s strike two. Take one more swing if you’d like to be shown the door – TLK]
you know there is nothing inappropriate about that comment.
jake referred to zionists returning to their homeland.
i asked him a question without even using the word zionist much less the word jewish, regarding the fact that they have been expelled by numerous countries and that maybe some people need a lesson in manners. the double standard you are holding me to is unacceptable to me so i will show myself the door without you having to bother.
good luck to you in your moderating endeavor.
spy on this out.
Spy DON’T GO!
We NEED you here! 😭
The world has always been in tumult. But now there is greater chance of a mistake being made and the weapons are more dangerous.
no. they are keeping the legitimate Syrian government at bay.
the only terrorists in Syria are the ISIS that uncle sam has been fostering for a decade now.
Yes,the “legitimate” torture state that gasses and barrel bombs its civilians.
Liar. You know better. It would appear that Israel is protecting the flank for the U.S. to steal Syrian oil. The U.S. is also pirating Iranian oil. Yes. pirating. As an American, I am disgusted and ashamed.
4Q .Amnesty International has spoken of torture in Syria for decades.
ISREAL is an APARTHEID STATE, Amnesty International says

Still want to use them as a reference?
jake, jake, jake………..
The terrorist do terrorism. That be Israel.
And Russia still did nothing.
what could Russia do? they have their hands full right now.
They have a lot more than Two hands…!
A two or three front war is not good. Russia would have been better off to have gone full “shock and awe” from the beginning in Ukraine, instead of limited objectives.
They gifted Assad the S-300 missle defence system, which has either been used sparingly, or not at all.
Unfortunately, Syria has little talent in this war business..
Those S300 do little to nothing. Illusion of defense will eventually face reality.
“Assad is evil, Assad must go.” Look what he makes Israel do.
“Aleppo was devastated by the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on February 6, and the city’s airport became a vital channel for aid. But that did not stop Israeli attacks.” (Sarcasm)
Great sarcasm as always, NA!
It will give me immense satisfaction when somebody—anybody—-returns the favor upon IsraHell. Hell, I’d pilot the plane myself were I able 😁
LOL. Except I bet if I were to pilot the plane, I would crash it first since my dementia is already advanced. I don’t even know how I’m typing up these words on my lap-a-top.
😂
It saddens me whenever you turn into a disgusting warmonger here.
Why do you defend Israel by not speaking truth about Israel?
That’s like me asking you why you’re a purple dragonfly with a time machine.
Since I don’t defend Israel by not speaking the truth about Israel, there’s no “why” to explain.
Well Mr. T, maybe I deserved that, maybe I didn’t.
Thang is, Mr. T, I’ve been for the underdog my entire life. When my smaller (I was always the tall one) friends got picked on, my fists went into action. My poor mother; I was supposed to be a well-behaved little Catholic girl. I believe the only reason I wasn’t kicked out of parochial school is because I was a straight-A student.
Did I mention I have a temper? My mother used to say I had an “artistic temperament”, lol.
I’m still a fighter for the underdog. No people on earth have been so tormented for so many years as the Palestinians, with the help of my own godforsaken country, of course. So if there were ONE thing I could do to remedy the situation, well then…I’d do it.
Stay safe btw Mr. T, I hear it pretty hairy down your way.
But bombing anyone never remedies any situation. Contrary to what we are told, our smart bombs kill innocents.
I don’t really know how to respond to that, Wars. I suppose arming the Palestinians with effective weapons might be an option.
But as far as rampant racist Zionism goes, the current IsraHelli “leadership” will not be content until every Palestinian is either dead, imprisoned, or expelled from their own country. I read Mondoweiss each day and the articles frequently bring me to tears.
But bombing Israel would kill innocents along with that leadership that I too despise. I get your anger, but war is never the answer. Just more dead people.
I understand your frustrations. And I just so happen to have (back when I believed in war as a way of settling things) done a couple of small ONE things for another group I suspect you support (hint: My youngest is named after the Pearse brothers).
Thanks for the well wishes. Idalia ended up breezing past me with some rain and fairly high winds, but not even a power outage. I was up early this morning trying to get as much work done as possible before the lights went out for three days or whatever, and other than flickering a couple of times, nada. For which I’m grateful.
Glad to hear you’re safe and sound Mr. T. I was concerned that it was supposed to hit your part of the state.
I want to believe that down deep you don’t mean that.
Wars, please read my response to Thomas below.
Israel frames its airstrikes in Syria as operations against Iran and Hezbollah
there aren’t any Iranians in Syria.
the whole point of Israel continuing to attack Syria is to enable uncle sam to continue pirating Syria’s oil.
Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy army.
yes they are regular boogey mans aren’t they.
the only terrorists in Syria are the ISIS that uncle sam has been propping up.
I am disgusted to say that my country of birth, the U.S. of A. is the prime terrorist.
who, along with Wagner and Russia, were responsible for putting the brakes on US plans for Syria
Iran is no threat to Israel. It doesn’t bomb Israel. It doesn’t assassinate Israel scientists. It doesn’t sabotage Israel’s nuclear facilities.
Dude, seriously?
You need to stop watching RT news and TASS.
Just fuk ing google Iran presence in Syria.
Yawn…………….its you…………ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
what are you high? just because google says so does not make it true.
in fact google says that Iran has 55 military bases in Syria – what a load of crap they would be eliminated immediately by uncle sam and Israel.
WTF,another day another air strike.The playbook never changes. It is obvious that Israel does not mind being a pariah all over the world. They will keep on doing what they do because they are the bully on the block with lots of Nukes and air power.
Israel often times behaves like their former nemesis: Nazi GERMANY.
Israel does not give a sh*t. They know their backs are covered by us.
Can’t argue with your thought.
Whenever Israel runs out of targets it cowardly bombs runways….!
To make sure no needed supplies reach the Syrian population. The old U.S. trick of making things bad for innocents in the hope a leader will be deposed in a coup. Meanwhile, thousands perish, just like Bill Clinton’s sanctions against Iraq did, sanctions that killed 500,000 Iraqi children, sanctions that the witch, Albright, said was “worth it”.
The “Assad Must Go” narrative has recently returned.. The Guardian even has an “evil Maduro” article posted today.. Turning away from Ukraine?
And the targets it runs out of before it bombs airports are, relatively speaking, defenseless.
