This comes amid growing tension in the region against the backdrop of the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Since Oct 7, when the Israeli campaign against Gaza started, Israel attacked the Aleppo airport four times and the Damascus airport twice.

Aleppo airport was previously hit on Oct 12, 14, and 22, and was due to open after repairs following the last strike.

Syria has vehemently condemned the Israeli attacks.
