Israeli attacks | Nearly 15 Iranian-backed militiamen killed in airstrikes on Deir Ezzor

Syrian Observatory activists have documented the killing of 14 Iranian and Iraqi militiamen due to Israeli airstrikes on positions of Iranian forces and Iranian-backed militias in the deserts of Al-Quriyah, Al-Salihyah and Al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. However, the death toll is expected to rise because of the  serious injuries of some casualties.

It is worth noting that yesterday’s strikes by Israeli jets also targeted weapons and ammunition depots in “defense factories” in Al-Sfirah area, south-east of Aleppo. The area is under the control of regime forces and Iranian-backed militias.
