Second such incident in seven days: Jets allegedly strike airport neighboring Assad's palace.
An Arab news outlet identified with the Syrian government said on Wednesday morning that Israeli jets struck targets at a Damascus airport.
According to the pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen television channel, the jets targeted the Mezzeh Military Airport in Damascus, which neighbors President Bashar Assad's palace. Loud explosions in the Mezzeh neighborhood were also reported on social media. Al-Arabiya, meanwhile, reported that fires broke out at the airport and that emergency vehicle sirens were heard in the area.
There were no official reports on the matter by the Syrian administration or Syrian or Lebanese state media. A Facebook page identified with President Bashar Assad's regime, "Damascus Today," noted that the incident was the result of "internal malfunction."
