Alleged Israeli airstrikes killed at least eight non-Syrian nationalities from pro-Iranian militias and Lebanese Hezbollah as a result of midnight shelling in southern Damascus countryside, said a monitoring group.

“The Israeli airstrikes have targeted weapon and missile depots used by Iranians and Hezbollah in Jabal al-Mani area in southern Damascus countryside,” The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Wednesday.

According to the monitoring group, a military post belonging to the Syrian Resistance for the Liberation of the Golan militia was also targeted. The exact damages and casualties reportedly remained unknown.

The report said that the latest incident brings the number of alleged Israel attacks on Syrian territory to 36 since the beginning of 2020.

At least 206 people including the regime forces, loyalists, Iranian forces, Hezbollah and affiliated militias, of whom 41 were Syrian nationals and 165 were foreigners, died due to the airstrikes, the monitoring group’s data showed.
