Despite a heavy airstrike near Ouzai on Wednesday night, Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut is operating normally, according to Caretaker Public Works and Transport Minister, Ali Hamieh.
The attack, which struck late Wednesday, caused minor damage to the western runway and service roads, with scattered stones found on the tarmac and some damage around runway 17. Fortunately, airport operations were not significantly disrupted, and no injuries were reported.
Cleaning operations began early Thursday morning, and all sections of the airport have since resumed normal function.
