Israel carried out airstrikes in Syria, including against an airport in Aleppo on Wednesday morning, according to Syrian media reports.

Several rockets targeted the international airport, the second time it has been hit in recent weeks.

There were no reports of casualties or damage, and no information on the specific targets of the airstrikes.

Other witnesses said separate airstrikes hit targets around the capital, Damascus.

There was no comment from the Israel Defense Forces, in line with its policy of not generally commenting on airstrikes in Syria.

Israel is believed to have carried out hundreds of strikes on targets in government-held parts of Syria in recent years, including attacks on airports in Damascus and Aleppo, but has rarely acknowledged or discussed the operations.
