More than 40 people killed in Israeli strikes on Syria’s Aleppo: Reports
More than 40 people, mostly soldiers, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Syria's northern Aleppo province, according to media and war observers.
Lebanese military groups confirmed that five Hezbollah members were among the dead. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), headquartered in England, announced the death toll as 42 and reported that many people were injured. Reuters reported that a total of 38 people died.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense said the attacks targeted several areas in the Aleppo countryside around 01:45 on Friday (22:45 GMT on Thursday). Syrian state news agency SANA reported that there was no loss of life, only some civilians and soldiers lost their lives and property was damaged in the attacks by Israel and unidentified forces.
War observer SOHR said in a statement to X that Israel attacked a weapons depot near Aleppo international airport, causing large explosions.
He added that at least 36 Syrian soldiers were killed and Hezbollah's weapons depots were located in the region.
The Israeli army did not confirm these attacks.
Al Jazeera correspondent Zeina Khodr reported from Beirut, Lebanon, that while Syrian state media did not disclose the target, local rebels said Syrian army and Hezbollah soldiers in Syria were killed.
“Recently, we have seen almost consecutive Israeli strikes in Syria as it widely hits Iranian targets in Syria,” Khodr reported.
Israel for years has carried out strikes in Syria, where Iranian-aligned groups, including Hezbollah, hold sway in eastern, southern and northwestern areas of the country as well as the suburbs around the capital, Damascus.
