Israel has focused Iranian army positions in Syria’s Aleppo with an air strike, the Syrian defence ministry mentioned in a press release.
“Israel carried out an aerial aggression from the route of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Latakia, focusing on numerous factors south of the town of Aleppo,” the defence ministry mentioned.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights mentioned that 19 pro-Iranian fighters – together with 4 Syrians, and 6 Iraqis – have been killed and greater than 18 have been wounded in not less than 9 air strikes. The Observatory added that the strikes focused army positions, a weapons cargo from Iraq and an ammunition warehouse.
Israel hardly ever feedback on particular person strikes focusing on Syria, however has repeatedly mentioned it won’t enable Iran, which backs Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad’s authorities, to increase its presence there. An Israeli army spokesperson declined to remark.
