Israel struck in northern Syria near weapons depots. At least 36 people died

The organization reported it on the X network and accompanied the posts with footage of the explosions. The media do not report that the strikes at the airport stopped traffic. Israel has been attacking targets linked to Iran or the Shiite group Hezbollah for many years in Syria.

Syrian army sources quoted by the state agency SANA also talked about civilian casualties, writes AFP. However, it is not yet clear whether Israeli strikes are behind them; Al Jazeera reported that the Israeli airstrikes took place “simultaneously” with a drone attack by terrorist groups from Idlib, west of Aleppo.

At the turn of the year, Reuters spoke to six unnamed sources, including representatives of the Syrian security forces, who said that Israeli strikes in Syria have become more frequent recently.

According to one source, the Israeli air force is attacking Damascus and Halab airports, which are used by Iran to transport weapons, without warning. “They fired a warning shot earlier,” one source told Reuters. Thanks to her, the truck crews had time to leave the trucks before the Israeli Air Force destroyed them.

Between October and the end of last year, 19 members of Hezbollah, an ally of the Iranian-backed Palestinian movement Hamas, were killed in such strikes. Israel is waging a war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip because of the bloody terrorist attacks the movement carried out in southern Israel last October.
