Israeli raids targeted airports in the capital Damascus and the city of Aleppo on Thursday, which were out of service, Syrian state television announced.
These airstrikes are the first on Syria since the start of the war, which left thousands dead, triggered by the attack on Saturday by Palestinian Hamas against Israel.
“An Israeli aggression targeted the airports of Damascus and Aleppo,” state television said.
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on Syrian territory since the start of the war there in 2011.
Its air force notably targeted forces supported by Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah, allies of Damascus and sworn enemies of Israel, as well as the Syrian army.
The airports of Damascus and Aleppo have been targeted several times. That of Aleppo was put out of service by strikes on August 28, and that of Damascus on January 2.
Israel, Syria’s neighbor, rarely comments on strikes in Syria, but says it wants to prevent Iran from establishing itself on its doorstep.
