Alleged Israeli airstrikes on the Damascus International Airport, conducted on Thursday, killed 11 members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Al Arabiya reported on Friday, citing anonymous sources.According to the report, IRGC members were waiting for a high-ranking delegation at the airport when the attack occurred. Earlier this week, it was reported that an Israeli strike on Damascus killed Sayyed Razi Mousavi, a senior adviser in IRGC. After that, Iran warned that Israel “will pay the price for this crime.”
Syrian air defenses repel ‘Israeli air aggression’
Syrian air defenses hastily responded to an “Israeli air aggression,” The Times of Israel reported, citing Syria’s state-run news agency SANA. The attack was launched from the direction of Lebanon and targeted a number of locations surrounding Damascus. Some material damage was reported, but no detailed information was given. This attack came following earlier strikes in the vicinity of Damascus, some of which caused the Damascus Airport to be out of service.
