At least four Iran-backed militias were killed due to alleged Israeli airstrikes on Syria, a Britain-based war monitor said on Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the Israeli missiles targeted “arms depots and military positions” belonging to Lebanese Shiite terror group Hezbollah, in the Qarah area in the northwest of Damascus province, near Homs province and the Lebanese border.
According to the group, the strikes killed at least four members of the Iran-backed group, but the nationality of these militias were not immediately defined.
The Israel Defense Forces rarely acknowledges its strikes in Syria and a spokesperson told AFP that it did “not comment on foreign media information.”
However, Israel regularly says that it will not allow Syria to become a stronghold of its old enemy, Iran.
