It was the latest attack since an Israeli airstrike hit the international airport in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria on August 28, damaging a runway and putting it out of service.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets inside government-controlled parts of war-torn Syria in recent years, including attacks on the airports in the capital of Damascus, but it rarely acknowledges or discusses the operations.
The strikes often target Syrian forces or Iranian-backed groups. Israel has vowed to stop Iranian entrenchment in Syria.
