An Israeli air strike on the Syrian city of Aleppo killed at least 36 Syrian soldiers on Friday, according to a war monitor, which added that Hezbollah weapons depots were located in the area.

The Israeli attack targeted an area "near rockets depots belonging to Lebanese group Hezbollah," said the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has an extensive network of sources in Syria. "At least 36 soldiers were killed and dozens wounded," it said.

Syrian state news agency SANA said the nighttime strike killed and wounded civilians as well as military personnel.

A Syrian military source told SANA that, "at approximately 1:45 am, the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of Athriya, southeast of Aleppo," adding that "civilians and military personnel" had been killed and wounded in the strike.
