Syrian regime accuses Israel of bombing in Aleppo

Syrian state news agency Sana accused Israel, "the Zionist enemy," of firing missiles that reached a Syrian military position north of Neirab Airfield on Sunday near Aleppo, inflicting material damage. According to Sana, these shots are being fired to support insurgents in the south of the country, where Syrian forces have launched an offensive and won important victories in recent weeks.

The Israeli army, which rarely confirms the strikes on Syrian positions, did not comment on this announcement in the immediate future. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH), an NGO based in London and close to Syrian rebels, said it recorded a series of explosions around Neirab Sunday night: "They were caused by missiles, suspected to have been fired from Israel and targeting positions held by the Syrian regime and its allies. "

Israel has carried out several strikes, since the beginning of the war in Syria in 2011, against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al -Assad but most often near Damascus and in the central provinces of Homs and Hama. On the other hand, they are much rarer in the north of the country, as in Aleppo on Sunday evening.

Kurdish militia leave Minbej

Officially, Israel and Syria are still in a state of war, since the Hebrew State seized in 1967 most of the Syrian Golan Heights, definitively annexed in 1981, even though this has never been recognized by the international community.

Meanwhile, in the north of the country, the last members of the Kurdish militia of the People's Protection Units (YPG) withdrew on Sunday from Minbej, according to their Arab allies in Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This withdrawal is done to avoid tensions with neighboring Turkey, which considers the Kurdish militia as "terrorist" by Ankara but also by Washington and the European Union.

The YPG had to withdraw from an agreement reached in June between United States and Turkey. It is the Turkish and American forces that will jointly ensure security and stability in the city.
