Monitor: 3 pro-regime fighters killed in alleged Israeli strike in Syria
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor raises the number of pro-regime fighters killed in Saturday’s airstrike on a military airport outside Damascus to three.
The Observatory says the strike on Mazzeh airbase is “believed to be caused by an Israeli missile…which caused successive explosions in ammunition depots.”
It says another 10 military personnel were injured in the strike, and the number of casualties is expected to rise because a number of them are in critical condition.
