Syria’s air defences have intercepted an Israeli attack on al-Safirah area of southern Aleppo, Syrian state media reported, a location where Israel has repeatedly hit a growing Iranian presence.
“At around 23:37 on Monday [20:37 GMT] … the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial attack towards southeast Aleppo, targeting positions in the al-Safirah area,” Syrian state news agency SANA cited a military source as saying
“Our air defences intercepted the missiles … shooting down most of them,” it added, saying the extent of damage was still being assessed....
*The strikes on Aleppo come less than 24 hours after Iraqi militias claimed a US drone targeted a truck carrying supplies in eastern Syria, as reported by the Associated Press and Syrian state media. Unconfirmed photos and videos also emerged purporting to show the aftermath of the strike. Though the Joe Biden administration has carried out several airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since coming to power in January, the Pentagon did not confirm the Sunday operation.
