"These rumors being circulated to raise morale of terrorists, which was brought low after failure of tripartite aggression on Syria."
Al-Mayadeen denies reports of an Israeli strike in Jabal Azzan...
"Trusted sources on the ground tell Al-Mayadeen: there is no truth to Israeli enemy media's reports of Israeli strike on southern Aleppo countryside."
With al-Ahed reporting that the source of explosions in Aleppo was from detonating explosives, not airstrikes.
5-Hezbollah's @C_Military1: news of Israeli strike in southern Aleppo countryside and in southern Syria inaccurate. "These rumors being circulated to raise morale of terrorists, which was brought low after failure of tripartite aggression on Syria." https://t.co/7UkCCww3LP

Update 1555ET: as expected, it was indeed Israel:
FOUR ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES ON IRANIAN BASE IN ALEPPO #SYRIA - REPORTS: i24
According to unconfirmed reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, there have been a number of casualties following the strike. It remains unclear if those killed were Syrians or Iranians. If the latter, Iran may soon be in a state of war with Israel.
SOHR further claims that there are casualties following the strike, according to al-Arabiya #Syria

The alleged Iranian airbase was first disclosed in late February, when Fox News published images showing a military base northeast of Syria's capital. According to the report, Iran's Al Quds force is operating the post.

While it is too early to determine who launched the attack, since none of the western forces have claimed responsibility, the most likely party is Israel which as a reminder, was also the first to strike Syria last Monday, almost a week before the US-coalition forces also unloaded on Syria.
Developing.
