According
to unconfirmed reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
there have been a number of casualties following the strike. It
remains unclear if those killed were Syrians or Iranians. If the
latter, Iran may soon be in a state of war with Israel.
Al-Arabiya quotes SOHR as confirming that an explosion took place in Jabal Azzan in the Aleppo Province. Nature of the explosion unconfirmed #Syria twitter.com/AlArabiya_Brk/…
SOHR further claims that there are casualties following the strike, according to al-Arabiya #Syria

- POSSIBLE STRIKE AGAINST IRAN BASE, WEAPONS WAREHOUSE IN SOUTHERN ALEPPO SYRIA FOLLOWING REPORTS OF EXPLOSIONS: JPOST
- MILITANTS SAY EXPLOSIONS AT LARGE IRANIAN MILITIA BASE IN ALEPPO: AL HADATH
An
unconfirmed photo of the strike:
The
alleged Iranian airbase was first disclosed in late February,
when Fox
News published images showing
a military base northeast of Syria's capital. According to the
report, Iran's Al Quds force is operating the post.

more information, please see "Israeli
Satellite Images Reveal: Iran Builds Military Base Near Damascus."
While
it is too early to determine who launched the attack, since none of
the western forces have claimed responsibility, the most likely
party is Israel which as a reminder, was also the first to strike
Syria last Monday, almost a week before the US-coalition forces also
unloaded on Syria.
Developing.
