The state-run SANA news agency did not provide a specific death toll but reported that the strikes led to a number of fatalities and caused material damage. "The aggression led to a number of martyrs and some material losses," SANA stated.

Other Syrian media outlets reported higher casualty figures, with 17 people killed and 15 others injured in the attack.

The airstrikes reportedly targeted a copper smelting plant near the town of Hayyan, located in the northwestern countryside of Aleppo.

The Syrian Ministry of Defense issued a statement confirming the incident, stating that "after midnight... the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the southeast of Aleppo, targeting some positions" near the city. The ministry added that the aggression resulted in several martyrs and material damage.

This attack is the latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Syrian territory, which Israel has previously said are aimed at Iranian and Hezbollah targets. (ILKHA)
