"15 Pro-Iranian Fighters Killed in Airstrike in Syria"

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] A Syrian civil war monitoring group claimed that more than 10 pro-Iranian fighters were killed in an airstrike in eastern Syria.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Syrian civil war monitoring group headquartered in London, UK, said on the 29th (local time) that 9 people were killed in an airstrike the previous day in the Albu Kamal area of Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria. It added that at least 6 people were killed in an airstrike in the same area on the night of the 27th.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated, "This airstrike targeted a military facility on the outskirts of Albu Kamal, and the deceased were pro-Iranian fighters," adding, "It is presumed that Israel carried out the airstrike."

Major foreign media reported that Israel has not made any statement regarding this.

Israel, which is hostile to Syria and Iran, has mainly carried out missile attacks and airstrikes targeting Iranian military facilities within Syria. Israel also conducted an airstrike on a military facility near Albu Kamal on the 1st of this month.
