Israeli airstrikes simultaneously targeted Syria’s two main international airports in Damascus and Aleppo for the second time since the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
The airstrikes took place early Sunday morning and put both airports out of service. Syria’s SANA news agency reported that one civilian worker was killed in the attack, and another was wounded.
“At about 05:25 am on Sunday, the Israeli enemy simultaneously carried out an aerial act of aggression with waves of missiles from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea west of Lattakia and from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan targeting Damascus and Aleppo international airports,” a military source told SANA.
“The aggression led to the martyrdom of a civilian worker at Damascus Airport, the injury of another worker, in addition to causing material damage to the runways of the two airports, putting them out of service,” the source added.
Israel previously targeted both airports on October 12. On October 14, Israeli airstrikes targeted the Aleppo airport but not Damascus. In all instances, the airports were temporarily knocked out of service. According to The Times of Israel, Syria told aviation authorities that the damage caused by the Sunday airstrikes would leave the airports out of service for at least two days.
For years, Israel has been bombing targets in Syria, which it frames as operations against Iran and Hezbollah’s presence in the country, but the strikes often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure. Toward the end of 2022, Israel began regularly targeting Syria’s airports, including in the wake of the February 2023 earthquake that devastated northwest Syria. The Sunday airstrikes marked at least the 28th time Israeli warplanes bombed Syria this year.
Israel’s IDF is a terror organization used to control all its neighbors funded with American money serving American interests.
The US army is legally used terrorism in uniform, while calling real resistance fighters like Hamas and Nelson Mandela terrorists.
NATO too is an aggressive military organization, it was never used to defend any member. It is being used to serve American aggressive wars and interests and nothing else.
Nelson Mandela was on the American terror watch list until 2008. Talking about hypocrites, state terrorists in military uniforms and with expensive high tech weapons are legal terrorists committing war crimes while real resistance fighters against oppressors are called terrorists and jailed for decades if they don’t get killed first.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Were the members of the Continental Army either or in the eyes of the Brits .
Until 2008 Nelson Mandela was on the American terror watch list, yes, it is in the eyes of the beholder and the political needs. Resistance against occupiers is legal, therefor Freedom fighters must be categorized to be terrorists, not legal resistance.
People who shoot babies in their cribs and use rape as a weapon of war are terrorists.
That is what IDF soldiers do, they bomb babies in their cribs and rape women and use Palestinian children for body shields. They use white phosphate and cluster bombs. They also block food, water, energy and medical supply for the civilian, unarmed population. That is why Hamas fighters hate Israelis so much. There is more, but that is more than enough.
Show me where Israelis have used mass rape as a weapon of war-as Hamas does.
The claim of rape, much less mass rape, is just atrocity propaganda. There’s no truth in it. Along with beheaded babies, incubator babies, Iraqi WMD’s, Viagra for Gaddafi’s troops, etc.
Its value comes from the fact that some people will instantly and uncritically believe anything they hear the moment they hear it. Lincoln’s “some of the people all of the time”. And that percentage, say 30%, is all the propagandists need to guarantee a base of support.
Rape and baby abuse are the go to atrocity accusations that most inflame people, and as a consequence the first propaganda to be generated in reports of conflict.
Jacob has no proof, because there is none. But he needs no proof, and that’s the essence of the utility of propaganda.
On the other hand, the 100 years of the “rape” of Palestine and Palestinians is a matter of historic record.
Like I said, people who are told absurdities may commit atrocities. Hence, the bombing that has killed 1500 Palestinian children.
Ah, the viagra rape absurdity, straight from Ukraine.
Hamas is the Palestinian’s Irgun, you can understand that or not? Soldiers are known to rape women given the chance, Israeli soldiers are no exception.
Show me with credible evidence when and where Hamas mass raped women, if you can do that you can come back to me and we can talk.
A doctor, plastic surgeon who practices in London, is administering aid in Gaza. He stated that he has seen a toddler with no head due the bombing by Israel.
People who tell others absurdities can make those others commit atrocities.
Bombs and denial of food and water and medical supplies do count too, or not?
Sorry I missed your post about Mandela before I shared the same view. Great minds think alike my friend! LOL
If I am not mistaken, I posted before I saw your post. In any case we are on the same wave length. LOL TOO.
How many mass murders of civilians did George Washington order?-name me one.
If you have the answer, then please share. By the way, all wars are mass murder.
How many mass murders of civilians did George Washington order?-name me one.
Mandela was a shining example. Vietnam in its entirety is a real and current life example.
Israel, Israel, Israel… I love you like I love my luggage but, seriously?…
You really don’t have that many friends. Try not to piss US off too much. We’d hate to leave you with your a— hanging in the wind…
P.S. How’s that whole Jewish state thing working out???
You got any room left for a true Palestinian State?…
P.S.S. Please remember that Iran can fight back…
P.S.S.S. Peace out.
There is a, hum, rumor going around, for a few years that you will start WWlll. We like to call that a nuclear option… Just so you know…. NUCLEAR WAR is, NOT an option… IT’S A DEATH SENTANCE.
Iran has already started WW III. With 80 million people and its targeting a nation of eight million,with sending lord how many thugs from Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran has created this situation.It will be terrible, and nuclear.
Israel wants that land. Gaza. West Bank. Beaches. Natural gas. The Zionist zealots believe that the lands they have taken and the lands that they desire are theirs according to a book. There is a plan afoot in Israel to build the third Temple. The unblemished cows are at the ready for the ritual slaying, burning, so as to provide the ashes necessary to the task. Palestinians are in the way. So, they will be driven into the Sinai or the Negev deserts to languish and die. So wonderful. So glorious. So Evil. Bless the Jews that are against it, and are not afraid to voice their denial.
You seriously love your luggage? What about me? What am I? Chopped liver? (Sarcasm)
Cowards…!
“…led to the martyrdom of a civilian worker…”
Wow, and I thought Unions HERE could be hyperbolic…!
Israel is the personification of the Evil One.
“…the strikes often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure.” So? What’s your point, Dave? How else do you propose we bring “Democracy and Freedom” to starving Syrians, while $hitting “moral superiority” on their faces? (Sarcasm)
The MSM will tell the sheeple that Israel has the rights to defend itself and the sheeple will nod in agreement.
All that with the blessings of deranged Biden and his neocon criminal cabal.
