Israeli Airstrike on Aleppo Airport Kills One, Injures Seven
------------------------------------------------------------

Syria's government says one soldier was killed and seven people wounded
earlier today as Israeli warplanes bombed the main airport in the
northern city of Aleppo, knocking it out of service. This follows
hundreds of Israeli attacks on Syria in recent years, including two
similar Israeli airstrikes on Aleppo's airport in March. The airport is
key to efforts to ship humanitarian relief to northern Syria following
the devastating February 6 earthquakes that killed more than 50,000
people, including over 6,000 Syrians.
