Eleven Iranians among dead in Israel strikes on Syria Thursday: monitor

206

At least 11 Iranians were among those killed in unprecedented Israeli strikes on Syria this week, a monitor said Saturday.

“At least 27 pro-regime fighters were killed” in Thursday’s strikes, said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

He said “six Syrian soldiers and 21 foreign fighters, including 11 Iranians” were among the dead.

That updates the monitor’s initial toll of 23, which did not specify the number of Iranians.
