At least 36 Syrian soldiers and six Hezbollah fighters were killed in Israeli raids which targeted the Aleppo region in the north of the country at dawn this Friday March 29. The strikes also left dozens injured, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The fighter-bombers fired a large number of air-to-ground missiles at three different areas around Aleppo, including factories in the Sfeira military-industrial complex near the airport. Several missiles hit their targets, despite the entry into action of the Syrian anti-aircraft defense.
