Up to 10 fighters were killed Sunday when Israel struck military sites in Syria after rocket fire from Syria hit near a ski resort in the Golan Heights.
As many as 10 fighters were killed when Israel fired rockets at military sites in Syria early Sunday after rockets launched from Syria struck near a ski resort in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) said that a military source reported three Syrian troops were killed and seven wounded in the Israeli airstrike.
The British-based watchdog group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 10 were killed in the Israeli strike, seven of whom were Iranian or Hezbollah troops.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese-based, Iranian-funded Islamist militia closely allied to Iran and Russia in the Syrian civil war, now in its eighth year.
The Israeli army confirmed in a statement that it had struck several military targets in Syria after two rockets were fired toward the Golan Heights, one landing near a popular winter resort.
The army said it “holds the Syrian regime accountable for every action taken against Israel and will firmly operate against any activity from within Syrian territory against Israel.
