Nearly three days after Aleppo International Airport was shuttered after its runway was damaged in an airstrike attributed to Israel, Syria’s Transportation Ministry announces it will reopen tomorrow.
In a statement carried by the state-run SANA news agency, the ministry says repair works have been completed after the early Tuesday morning strike, and the airport will begin flights tomorrow at 8 a.m. local.
Yesterday, an Israeli satellite firm published images showing damage caused to the runway.
