Hezbollah denies Israel struck its forces near Damascus

A senior Hezbollah official denies reports that Israel carried out a missile attack on its forces near Damascus last week.

Speaking Monday, the official says the report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is incorrect. Reuters notes that report was bolstered by a Syrian defector who said the targets included Syrian military formations in which Hezbollah forces were embedded.

The Hezbollah official is quoted by Reuters as saying that “Iranian and Hezbollah positions in Kisweh, southern Syria, were not exposed to any bombardment.”
