War monitor claims 36 Syrian soldiers killed in alleged strikes near Aleppo

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, says 36 Syrian soldiers were killed and dozens more were injured in alleged Israeli strikes near Aleppo early Friday.

The war monitor’s claim cannot be verified. It has been accused in the past of inflating death tolls and damage from alleged Israeli attacks.

The group claims the attack hit missile depots for Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group in Aleppo’s southern suburb of Jibreen near the Aleppo International Airport.

The Observatory said explosions were still heard two hours after the strikes.
