Thats by Zahlah (incase you dont know of Riyaq) Why havnt we heard more about this airport and is it being used?
Its 33 51N and 35 59 E for those who want to look at it via satalite.
Actually Riyaq and another airport by Tripoli up North have already been hit by the IAF; very little use for them now. Riyaq was a military base but it hasn't been used as one since WWII. Nevertheless, it was hit and destroyed. The one up in Tripoli was not used that often (except by private planes, flying schools, etc), and that was destroyed too in case Hizbollah wanted to start flying weapons in all of sudden...
