The Syrian army said Israel on Wednesday night launched aerial attacks on the industrial zone and airport in the northern city of Aleppo causing only material damage.
The Israeli aggression targeted some positions in Sheikh Najjar industrial zone and Aleppo airport and 70 percent of the enemy missiles were brought down according to a Syrian military statement.
The blasts caused an electrical blackout in Aleppo the country’s second largest city and a major industrial hub.
The strikes coincided with an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council that was held at Syria’s request over US president Donald Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.
