Israel conducted a missile strike on Syria’s international airport in its capital of Damascus on Monday, killing two soldiers and injuring two others, the Syrian Army said.
The attack happened shortly after midnight and put the airport out of service, according to the army. Israel has previously targeted airports and ports in parts of Syria held by the government under Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to prevent arms shipments that Iran sent to militant groups that it backs, including Hezbollah.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks human rights abuses in Syria and has been described as supporting the Syrian opposition to Assad, said four people were killed in the strike, but the conflicting reports could not be immediately reconciled.
