On Wednesday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported about an “Israeli air aggression on Sheikh Najar region in Aleppo’s north-eastern countryside”. According to SANA, Syrian air defence systems repelled the attack, intercepting a series of missiles before they reached their target.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) might have used its advanced US-made F-35 fighter jets in an airstrike on Syria’s Aleppo Province earlier this week, the Middle Eastern Al-Masdarindependent media outlet claimed citing the South Front news website.
Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that the Jewish state will not allow Iran to gain a military foothold in Syria. Tehran has denied having this ambition, insisting that it has only sent military advisers to Syria to help Damascus fight terrorism.
