First imagery of the area is through, sadly, it's cloudy, extremely cloudy. I'll process some later on and see if I can stop anything through the breaks in the cloud, but i'm not hopefully.
But saying that it's possible for another set of imagery to come in later today that's not cloudy, either way, i'm keeping an eye on it.
Still searching….
Tweet deleted. I’ll go back to the #TuscanGP and stop multitasking 😂
So I did spot the strike yesterday it seems, but I thought it was a wildfire on the @sentinel_hub imagery.
Here you go see the before and after. The change on the building at this resolution is very slight, hence why I wasn’t sure and I didn’t want to post it incase it was wrong, don’t want to provide false info,
Close up photos from @ImageSatIntl show the damage. This area is a known to be affilated with #Iran|ian backed Fatemiyoun militants as highlighted back in March and May
One thing to take from the @sentinel_hub image shows a significant burnt area around the airstrike. Aligning with @ImageSatIntl assessment there was clearly some extra fuel involved.
@ImageSatIntl Topology of this area is fascinating, notice the way the first building is half gone, compared to the second which is completely struck, I wonder if that’s due to the land profile on an incline.
Sure, the berming around the buildings had to be taken into account too, anyway, I am going to stop thinking aloud now.

Initial low resolution satellite imagery from Nevatim Airbase this morning appears to show some damage around 31°12'15.7"N 35°02'19.7"E, which aligns with reports of a building being damaged. Not seeing anything else obvious, currently. Couple of annoying cloud shadows.
Another potential impact on the runway, and just south of it. Can't make up my mind on the one south of it, could be the change in light which can be observed on the larger structures.
Higher resolution required for this.
for those who want to gander themselves, here;
I am not seeing anything overly obvious would contradict the reports of it being hit and sustaining small damage, there are a few markers per se, but it's minimal, if that.browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/?zoom=14&lat=3…
After following the rhetorics and post event details of these drones for years in the Middle East seeing them now “in the wild” is truly something. The illusive Shahed’s doing their thing, in the public eye.
Sat. Imagery courtesy of @planet from earlier today shows several vehicles on the runway at #Aleppo Intl. Airport, #Syria most likely conducting a repair (square cutover already) after the reported #Israel|i airstrike hours after #IRGC affiliated Yas Air Cargo EP-GOX landed.
To the south of the runway you can see the damage caused to the DVOR/DME Navaid which also appears to be targeted.
Heavy scaring can be seen in both areas due to fires. Notably, personally, I’ve only twice seen a runway targeting have some heavy prominent scaring.
In September 2020 an airstrike at T4 left heavy burn marks after something was reportedly struck on the apron. And the included tweet in 2021.
