9 Iran-backed militiamen said killed in 2nd Syria air raid

BEIRUT — Airstrikes targeting positions of Iran-backed militias in eastern Syria killed nine fighters today in the second such raid in 24 hours, a war monitor says.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says Israel was “likely responsible” for the strikes near the Iraqi border, which came hours after a similar raid killed six other Tehran-backed fighters, raising the toll to 15 killed in 24 hours.
