    Muizer is correct, it is one of the early battles of Aleppo.

    I don't remember if this was a drone strike or a terror attack.

    I read it was a truck with explosives, but the article was ambiguous about whether it blew up intentionally or by accident.

    Hint time, I think

    Strictly speaking, the answer is a war, but there have been battles that took longer.

    The Football War between Honduras and El Salvador from 1969?

    It lasted roughly 100 hours.

    Football War is correct. It's also known as the 100 hour war. The photo shows Salvadorian general José Alberto "Chele" Medrano.
