An Israeli airstrike on eastern
Syria has killed more than eight fighters from Iraq’s Iran-backed Hashed
al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Force – PMF).
A US drone strike also killed
Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the PMF head,
last week.
Israel launched the attack on
areas considered Iranian interests Friday morning.
“Unidentified aircraft targeted
vehicles and arms depots in the Albu Kamal area, causing a large explosion.
“At least eight Iraqi Hashed
fighters were killed,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights.
He said several others were
wounded.
The Britain-based organization
said three villages in the Albu Kamal area known for housing forces loyal to
Tehran have been targeted by drone strikes since Wednesday.
DeirEzzor24 reported that weapons
shipment to Lebanese terror group Hezbollah was targeted in the attack.
The weapons reportedly included
ballistic missiles belonging to the Imam Ali Brigade, a Shiite militia under
the PMF
