Syrian sources have confirmed Israeli airstrikes on targets in northern Syria, particularly in the Aleppo region. According to officials, the attacks targeted research laboratories and defense facilities of the Syrian Arab Army. The Syrian Defense Ministry also reported casualties among Syrian troops, but the exact number of victims was not specified.
The attack was allegedly carried out from Jordanian airspace, highlighting the complexity of the route and the nature of the operation. The Israeli planes came from a south-easterly direction, disrupting Syrian air defenses. Israel regularly attributes such operations targeting Syrian military and research facilities to the threat from Iranian-backed groups operating in Syria, but Jerusalem has yet to confirm its involvement in the strikes.
Meanwhile, the escalation of the situation continues to raise security concerns throughout the Middle East.
