Syrian regime army says a number of civilians and soldiers were killed in an air strike from the direction of Athriya, southeast of Aleppo. Israeli raid targeted Aleppo International Airport, which had been targeted several times in Israeli raids in the past few months.

Israel rarely comments on specific strikes, but has repeatedly said that it will not allow Iran to establish its military presence in Syria. Since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, Israel has escalated its attacks on armed groups allied with Iran in Syria, and has also bombed the air defenses of the Syrian army.
