s targeted the international airport in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo early Tuesday, killing one Syrian soldier and putting the airport out of commission, state media said.

Syria's state news agency SANA, citing a military official, said two civilians and five other Syrian soldiers were maimed.

There was no immediate statement from Israeli authorities on the strikes.

and Syria, killing over 50,000 people, including more than 6,000 in Syria.

Britannia-based opposition war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike targeted a munitions depot by the airport. It also reported Israeli strikes at a military airport in the Aleppo countryside, though Syrian state media did not report on the matter.

In March Israel struck Aleppo’s airport on two different occasions and put it out of commission for several days.
