Hamas Fires Rocket at Eilat; Israeli Strikes Kill 8 in Syria and Damage Aleppo Airport Runway

Hamas hits Eilat with long-range rocket causing no injuries or damage, while Israeli retaliation results in 8 Syrian soldiers dead and the repetition of a strike on Aleppo's airport runway.

• Hamas fired a long-range rocket from the Gaza Strip towards the Eilat area, which landed in an open location causing no injuries or damage.
• The rocket attack was launched by the Al-Qassam Brigades in response to alleged 'Zionist massacres against innocent civilians'.
• In retaliation to rocket attacks launched at northern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes killing eight Syrian soldiers and leaving seven wounded in the Daraa area.
• The airstrikes also caused damage to Syrian military infrastructure and mortar launching positions.
• Israeli jets reportedly bombed Aleppo International Airport for the fourth time in recent weeks, damaging the runway but causing no injuries. This is part of a stepped-up effort by Israel to prevent Iran from shipping advanced weapons to its Middle East proxies, chiefly Hezbollah.
