At least 38 people, predominantly civilians, were tragically killed in a relentless Israeli airstrike in Aleppo, Syria. Reuters reported this devastating development on Friday (March 29), shedding light on the grim toll exacted by the aerial assault.

According to Reuters, among the deceased were at least five members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. The Israeli forces reportedly initiated the operation, targeting the vicinity of the Aleppo International Airport. The strike zeroed in on an arms depot near the airport, triggering a massive explosion that engulfed the area in flames.

Syria's state-run SANA news agency corroborated the reports, confirming civilian and military casualties resulting from the pre-dawn assault in Cha Lano. The airstrike inflicted a devastating blow, leaving behind a trail of destruction and claiming the lives of innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

This tragic incident comes on the heels of another deadly airstrike earlier in the week, where 13 individuals, including a commander and nine pro-Iranian personnel, lost their lives in airstrikes conducted in eastern Syria on Tuesday (March 26).

The escalating violence in Syria underscores the urgent need for a cessation of hostilities and a concerted effort to address the root causes of conflict, as innocent civilians continue to bear the brunt of the devastating consequences wrought by relentless warfare.
