In a statement, Kulet revealed that on February 12th, between 11:37 and 11:49, two Israeli Air Force F-16s launched a cruise missile attack on Neirab International Airport from Lebanese territory, avoiding Syrian airspace.

The strike, as claimed by Kulet, caused injuries to three civilian employees working at the airport.

Neither the Syrian regime nor Israel has officially commented on the incident, nor have the Iranian militias stationed in the area.

In another recent incident, several Iranian militia members were killed or wounded in Israeli shelling targeting a military base in Damascus countryside early last Saturday.

According to a statement from the Syrian regime’s news agency, SANA, a military source reported that at approximately 1:05 a.m., the Israeli military conducted an air attack from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting multiple locations in the outskirts of Damascus.

The source stated that the regime’s air defence systems intercepted and destroyed some of the incoming missiles, resulting in only minor material losses.
