MOSCOW, December 7 (Sputnik) — The Israeli Air Force have conducted several airstrikes on Syria's Damascus International Airport, targeting an arms depot, a source in Syrian army's Joint Staff told Sputnik on Sunday.
"The Israeli Air Force have conducted airstrikes on an arms depot, which caused huge blasts near the [Damascus] International Airport," the source said in a phone conversation.
According to the source, explosions are heard near the Damascus airport and the capital's suburb Al-Dimas.
