Six pro-Iran fighters said killed in Israeli strikes in Syria
A war monitor says at least six pro-Iran fighters were killed in Israeli strikes in Syria near the Lebanese border, including in an area where Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group holds sway.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says “Israeli strikes targeted two positions of pro-Iran groups in the Homs region,” including “a Hezbollah site in the Qusayr area” near the border where “six Iran-backed fighters were killed.”
The Observatory did not specify their nationalities.
There was no comment from Israel.
