Satellite images released by an Israeli intelligence firm on Tuesday showed the extensive damage done to at least one building, in a deadly
on a Syrian airfield earlier this week that was blamed on Israel.The bombing raid targeted al-Nayrab airbase, adjacent to Aleppo’s international airport, in northern Syria late Sunday night, according to Syrian state media. The facility was identified in the past as a base for Iranian forces, including Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The satellite images released on Tuesday by ImageSat International, a company that interprets visual intelligence, show the effects of the airstrike to one structure near the airfield.
The building, described as a vehicle workshop, was estimated to be 50 meters by 12 meters (164 feet by 39 feet) in size.
The building was also said to have received shipments from Iranian transport aircraft, flying into the Aleppo airfield.
According to the Observatory, the airfield that was targeted served as a logistics hub to provide equipment and food to pro-regime forces fighting at nearby fronts, but it was not believed to store weapons.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside the country, said it had recorded a wave of blasts around Nayrab on Sunday night.
The base was also reportedly previously struck by Israel on April 29 as part of a large raid that also targeted weapons depots near Hama.
There was no comment from Israel, which rarely confirms such attacks.
