The attack is the second hit to the Aleppo airport within three days following the Israeli strike on the airports in the capital Damascus and Aleppo on Thursday.

According to Bassem Mansour, the head of the Syrian Civil Aviation, the strike has temporarily halted airport operations, as it again caused damage to the runway.

The airport had resumed service earlier in the day after repairs were made following the previous attack. The repeated strikes came amid escalating tensions in the region as Israel and Hamas are engaged in fierce conflict.

On Sunday morning, Israel was striking southern Lebanon after an anti-tank missile from Lebanon killed a person in northern Israel. A man in his 40s was killed, and three others were injured, according to Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service. 

The Israeli military said that the shot from Lebanon targeted the community of Shtula near the border with Lebanon. Hezbollah said that it targeted an Israeli Merkava tank at the Israeli army Raheb site using guided missiles on Sunday morning.

The situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border escalated after Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward the military sites in Shebaa Farms on Sunday morning in support of the "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" launched by Hamas on Oct. 7.
