BEIRUT: An Israeli drone strike in central Syria killed two Hezbollah fighters of Lebanon, a war monitor said.
“An Israeli drone fired two missiles at a Hezbollah car and truck near the town of Qusayr in Homs province, as they were on their way to Al-Dabaa military airport, killing at least two Hezbollah fighters and wounding others,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
This marked the third attack on Hezbollah positions in Syria within a week. Earlier strikes, including those on Monday in the Qusayr area, killed fighters. Among them, one was a Hezbollah fighter confirmed by a source within the organization to AFP.
Another strike on May 18 targeted a Hezbollah commander and his associate, according to the Observatory, although no casualties were officially reported.
Israel had also attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital city of Syria, last month killing seven Iran’s Revolutionary Guards members.
