Strikes in Syria near Aleppo kill 38, injure dozens, say security sources

[IsraelTrimes] UK-based Syrian Observatory says Israel attacked missile depots for Hezbollah near Aleppo airport, while state media says drone strikes by insurgent groups occurred simultaneously

The Syrian army claimed that Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s early Friday near the northern city of Aleppo killed and maimed several people and caused material damage, while security sources cited by Rooters said that at least 38 people had been killed.

Syrian state media quoted an unnamed military official as saying that the Israeli strikes coincided with drone attacks by Syrian holy warrior groups on civilian targets in Aleppo and its suburbs. It did not give an exact number of casualties.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor with questionable funding and sourcing, said Israeli strikes hit missile depots for Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s terrorist Hezbollah group in Aleppo’s southern suburb of Jibreen near the Aleppo International Airport. It added that 36 soldiers were killed and dozens were maimed in the strikes. The Observatory said explosions were still heard two hours after the strikes.

Two security sources cited by Rooters said that the strikes killed 38 people, including five members of Hezbollah.

Syrian state news agency SANA said the pre-dawn strike killed and maimed civilians, as well as military personnel, without providing a corpse count.

There was no immediate statement from Israeli officials on the strikes. Israel frequently launches strikes on Iran-linked targets in Syria but rarely acknowledges them.

On Thursday, Syrian state media reported airstrikes near the capital Damascus, saying it maimed two civilians.

Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and once its commercial center, has come under such attacks in the past that led to the closure of its international airport. Friday’s strike did not affect the airport.

The strikes have escalated over the past five months against the backdrop of the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’s unprecedented attack on Israel in which holy warriors murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims that more than 32,000 Paleostinians have been killed by Israel in the war, an unverified figure which includes more than 13,000 Hamas operatives killed by Israel.

Israel has exchanged near-daily, cross-border fire with Hamas ally Hezbollah since the Gaza war began, sparking fears of a major regional conflagration.

At least 346 people have been killed in Lebanon — mostly Hezbollah terrorists, but also including at least 68 civilians — in festivities with Israel over the last six months, according to an AFP tally.

The fighting has also displaced tens of thousands of people in southern Lebanon and in northern Israel, where the IDF says 10 soldiers and eight civilians have been killed.

 since an uprising against his rule erupted in 2011. The uprising quickly morphed into a civil war drawing in regional and global players. Hezbollah has continued to operate in the country since.
Update from the Times of Israel at 12:40 p.m. ET
The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of six members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

They are named as Ahmed Shehimi from Markaba; Mustafa Makki from Tebnine; Ibrahim al-Zein from Chehour; Ali al-Haf from Halloussiyeh; Mustafa Nassif from Haffir; and Ali Naim from Selaa.

Naim was reported to have been killed in an Israeli strike on a car in the Lebanese town of Bazouriye, close to Tyre this morning, while the other five are believed to have been killed in an alleged IDF strike in Syria’s Aleppo overnight.

Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 263.
