Iran said on Wednesday that Israel will pay for an airstrike in Syria that killed four people including two Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights identified the two other victims of Monday’s attack as pro-Iran Syrian militiamen, but Syrian state media said they were civilians.

The Observatory said the two dead Iranians killed belonged to Iran's elite Quds Force. Six militiamen were also wounded, it added.

Holding Israel accountable for such attacks "is one of the main goals of the resistance (forces) in the region," Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said.

The Guards' website, Sepah News, identified the two dead officers as colonels Ehsan Karbalaipour and Morteza Saeidnejad, adding that Israel would "pay for this crime.

Israel rarely comments on air strikes in Syria.
