In the early hours of Monday morning, Damascus was shaken by a series of Israeli airstrikes that resulted in the loss of 12 lives belonging to pro-Iranian militias in Syria's Aleppo province. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, these militias were made up of both Syrian and non-Syrian fighters and were known to have a strong presence in the area surrounding Aleppo city.
The attack specifically targeted multiple locations in the countryside of Aleppo, with the town of Hayyan in the northwest bearing the brunt of the strikes. Residents of Aleppo reported hearing loud explosions throughout the night, as reported by the Xinhua news agency. This attack is just one in a series of recent Israeli assaults on positions held by Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian militias in Syria, a trend that has been on the rise since last month.
Confirming the tragic news, the Syrian Defense Ministry stated that there were indeed casualties resulting from the Israeli aggression near Aleppo. This latest development is a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict in Syria and the involvement of foreign powers in the region. The situation in Aleppo and its surrounding areas remains tense as the aftermath of the airstrikes unfolds. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those affected by this devastating attack.
