Nearly two weeks after Damascus International Airport was shuttered after being heavily damaged in an airstrike attributed to Israel, Syria’s Transportation Ministry announces it will reopen tomorrow.
Repair work to the runways and equipment damaged in the June 10 airstrike has been completed, the ministry says. Arrivals and departures will begin Thursday, it adds.
Over the years, Israel has repeatedly charged Iran with smuggling weapons and missile-improving systems from Tehran to its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah using flights via Syria.
