Fresh off reports of Israeli attacks cutting off humanitarian aid in Damascus, Israel attacked the airport once again. There is no word if the airport is operational.

Damage was reported and state media said many rockets were intercepted. Five soldiers were reported killed in the incident. Israel refused comment.

Its not clear what was targeted, beyond the soldiers. Nearby military posts also came under fire. Syrian Observatory reported two Iranians may have been killed.

Attacks targeting Iranians are not unusual, though harmless Iranians being in Damascus isn’t so rare either. Either way, Israel is not going on the record.
