Sat. Imagery courtesy of @planet from earlier today shows several vehicles on the runway at #Aleppo Intl. Airport, #Syria most likely conducting a repair (square cutover already) after the reported #Israel|i airstrike hours after #IRGC affiliated Yas Air Cargo EP-GOX landed. 
To the south of the runway you can see the damage caused to the DVOR/DME Navaid which also appears to be targeted.
Heavy scaring can be seen in both areas due to fires. Notably, personally, I’ve only twice seen a runway targeting have some heavy prominent scaring.

In September 2020 an airstrike at T4 left heavy burn marks after something was reportedly struck on the apron. And the included tweet in 2021.

General runway strikes leave little to no burn marks, see included and next tweets for examples.

It’s impossible for me to say if something was targeted on the runway to cause the heavy burning, little to no debris and the repairs already underway.
Square cutout*
For those curious, if you zoom into the original tweet image at the trucks, you can see the square cutout to begin the repair, similar to those we’ve seen before.
