Explosions were heard on Tuesday night at Aleppo International Airport and at Deir ez-Zor Airport in northern Syria, reported Syrian state news agency SANA.

According to the state-controlled outlet, the Syrian army’s air defenses downed some of the Israeli missiles.

There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties.

The Israeli Air Force reportedly targeted Iranian weapons transfers last week at Aleppo International Airport.

The regime “is in very bad shape” economically and cannot pay its troops due to the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, said the U.S. president.
Jews who travel into Area A of Judea and Samaria face a “danger of death,” Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman told JNS.
Washington must “compensate” the Islamic Republic for war damages, said Tehran’s Supreme National Security Council.
