At least two rockets were fired from Syria into the Golan heights on Shabbos afternoon. Bichasdei hashem, no one was injured.
The IDF says both rockets landed in open areas, causing no damage.
Separately, the IDF says it launched an Iron Dome missile at a “suspicious target” that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon, but further details are under investigation.
The IDF response came swift.
Syria’s defense ministry has confirmed that an airstrike on Aleppo International Airport has taken place, which they attribute to Israel. The strike occurred at approximately 11:35 pm local time and was reportedly launched from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea. The attack inflicted significant damage to the airport, placing it out of service, and disrupting air traffic in the region.
The Syrian defense ministry issued a strongly worded statement condemning Israel for the strike, characterizing it as “confirming the criminal approach of the Israeli occupation” and accusing Israel of committing “crimes against the Palestinian people.” This condemnation reflects the longstanding tensions between the two nations.
The strike comes just hours after repairs had been completed following a previous Israeli strike on the same location earlier in the week.
