Israel bombed Syrian army positions south of Aleppo on Thursday, the latest such strikes since the overthrow of longtime strongman Bashar Al Assad, a war monitor and local residents said. Residents reported hearing huge explosions in the area, while the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes hit defence and research centres. The observatory said from Britain that “at least seven massive explosions were heard, resulting from an Israeli air strike on defence factories … south of Aleppo”.
