Hezbollah posts hit in Israeli strike on Damascus airport

Positions for "Hezbollah and pro-Iranian groups" inside Damascus’ airport and its surroundings were hit in the overnight Israeli airstrike, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday.

The targets included "a weapons warehouse," the Observatory added.

The strike killed four fighters including two Syrian soldiers, the Observatory said.

This is the second time in less than seven months that the Damascus airport, where Iranian-backed armed groups and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters are present, has been hit by Israel.
