Syrian media report an alleged Israeli airstrike against Aleppo International Airport, causing damage.

The pro-government Sham FM radio says there are no injuries in the strikes, and the damage was limited to the runway.

It marks the fourth time the runway at Aleppo Airport has been hit in recent weeks, as Israel is believed to be stepping up efforts to prevent the shipment of advanced weapons from Iran to its various Middle East proxies, chief among them Hezbollah.

Aleppo Airport was hit on October 12, 14, and 22, and was due to open after repairs following the last strike.
