Israel reportedly carried out two airstrikes in northern and eastern Syria amid increased Israeli action against Iranian targets there.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said today that Israeli jets struck Iran-backed militia targets in the Deir ez-Zor countryside in the country’s east, killing 15 Iranian and Iraqi citizens. Late last night, Israel also bombed a weapons depot belonging to Syrian government and Iranian forces near Al-Safira outside Aleppo, the observatory said.
