Two Syrian soldiers were killed in Israeli strikes on the Damascus airport, which was decommissioned, the official Sana agency reported on Monday.

The attack took place around 2 a.m. (2300 GMT). "The Israeli enemy carried out an air assault using a missile barrage, targeting Damascus International Airport and its surroundings", and causing "the death of two soldiers, wounds to two others", a Sana said citing a Syrian military source. The airport is “out of service,” she added.
