Syria says several troops, civilians killed in alleged Israeli strike

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.

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.

As expected, one of the significant targets that was hit is a strategic weapons depot. Video from Aleppo after the recent Israeli airstrikes.

US blasts four Houthi drones threatening warships in Red Sea

The US military said it has destroyed four unmanned drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.

The US Central Command says on the social media site X that the drones “presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region.”

The drones “were aimed at a coalition vessel and a US warship and were engaged in self defense over the Red Sea,” the statement from the US Central Command says, adding there were no injuries or damage reported to the US or coalition ships.
