Pro-Hezbollah al-Manar TV says Damascus blast likely Israeli air strike

The pro-Hezbollah al-Manar television channel said that an explosion at fuel tanks and warehouses near Syria's Damascus International Airport early on Thursday had likely been caused by an Israeli air strike.

It added that initial indications were that the blast had caused only material damage and not deaths.

Hezbollah, an ally of President Bashar al-Assad, is involved in the fighting in Syria's civil war.
