Alleged Israeli airstrike reported at Aleppo airport in northern Syria

Large explosions are being reported in Aleppo in northern Syria, in what is being described as an Israeli attack.

According to reports, the attack has targeted the city’s main airport, which has been blown up in alleged Israeli strikes several times in the past few years.

Unverified videos show a large fireball rising over the city. One video also appears to show anti-aircraft fire streaking into the sky.

There is no comment from official Syrian sources, nor from the Israel Defense Forces.

By policy, Israel’s military does not generally comment on individual strikes.

The alleged strike comes hours after Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said Israel struck a residential building in Damascus, injuring two civilians and causing “material losses.”
