Satellite images published today by an Israeli intelligence and imagery firm show repair work at Aleppo airport after damage was caused to a runway in a strike attributed to Israel.

According to ImageSat International (ISI), the damage caused to two locations near the middle of the runway will prevent large planes from landing, such as Iranian cargo flights ferrying weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Syria accused Israel of striking the airport in the predawn hours yesterday, leading it to cease operations until further notice.
