Syria’s army says an unspecified number of soldiers and civilians were killed in an Israeli attack on several points around the north of the country early Friday, according to Damascus state-run media.

The attacks were centered around the town Ithiriya, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Aleppo, SANA says.

“The aggression resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of civilians and military personnel and caused material losses to public and private property,” the statement says.

The report says the attacks occurred at 1:45 a.m., just as a drone assault by rebels from Idlib on the city of Aleppo and areas west of the city was also taking place.

There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
