New Israeli attack in rural Damascus and Quneitra | Eight non-Syrian militiamen killed, and rocket depots and vehicles destroyed in airstrikes on positions of pro-Iran militias and Lebanese Hezbollah

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has documented the killing of eight militiamen of pro-Iranian militias and Lebanese Hezbollah of non-Syrian nationalities, as a result of Israeli shelling on Jabal al-Mani in southern Damascus countryside just before midnight.

The Israeli airstrikes have targeted weapon and missile depots used by Iranians and Hezbollah in Jabal al-Mani area in southern Damascus countryside. A military post belonging to the “Syrian Resistance for the Liberation of the Golan” militia was also targeted near the village of Ruweihina at the Syrian border with the occupied Golan in Quneitra countryside.

The attack caused material damage, as rocket depots in Jabal al-Mani and vehicles belonging to a military post of the “Syrian resistance for the liberation of the Golan” were destroyed within the 90th Brigade near Ruweihina. The death toll is expected to rise as some injured are in serious condition, amid reports of further fatalities.  

This latest incident brings the number of Israel attacks on Syrian territory to 36 since the beginning of 2020, which killed 206 people of regime forces, loyalists, Iranian forces, Hezbollah and affiliated militias: of whom 41 were Syrian nationals, and 165 foreign nationals.
