Israel Strike Kills 7 Iranian, Iran-Backed Fighters in Syria

A Syrian war monitoring group says an Israeli airstrike the night before killed seven Iranian and Iranian-backed fighters in northern Syria.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that the airstrike targeted an Iranian weapons depot and also wounded several other fighters.

Syrian state media said the country's air defenses responded to an "Israeli air aggression" targeting positions in an industrial area northeast of the city of Aleppo city, causing material damage only.

Iran is an ally of Damascus and has offered military advisers, sent allied militiamen and material support to help the Syrian government force in the eight-year civil war.

Israel considers Iran a national security threat and says it won't tolerate Iran's presence on its borders. It has recently acknowledged striking Iranian targets in Syria.

Expecting a response by hezbollah in the 'heart of occupied Palestine' anytime now!

Nassrallah revealed that Israel was warned via a foreign state that “the next response would be in the heart of occupied Palestine".

I recall during the time they were too busy occupying Lebanon and oppressing it's people to liberate the Golan, how their air defenses caused more damage from fallen debris in lives and property on the ground that they did to the Israeli planes. I suspect rather than actually attempting to shoot at the Israeli planes their air defenses picked a random spot in the sky over the liberated areas and let loose their ordnance intro it hoping to cause as much damage and injuries as they can down bellow.

Associated Press forgot to mention that the Syrian civil war consists of the Persian Gulf monarchies, probably assisted by Israel, certainly assisted by England, France, the US, etc., battling the people of Syria. To end in spectacular failure, which reminds you of the Mueller investigation. What has the Democratic Party of the US or its aligned international partners in Europe ever done for Lebanon? By refusing to denounce racism in its Constitutional Article 24, they condemn Lebanon to insecurity and instability. Racism just doesn't work.
