Syrian media outlets are reporting on an alleged Israeli airstrike in the Aleppo area in northern Syria.
The pro-government Sham FM radio says air defenses are engaging the strike over Aleppo International Airport.
It does not immediately report damage to the airport, but images circulating on social media show large plumes of smoke in the area.
#Syria: at least 6 successive explosions were heard amidst Israeli bombardment on #Aleppo International Airport (which didn't reopen since last strike in October). Looks like a massive strike. pic.twitter.com/UjpiavpXGE
