Report: Israel strikes Hezbollah positions in Syria, killing 13
2015-11-25
[IsraelTimes] According to unconfirmed reports, eight fighters, five Syrian soldiers die in four IAF raids Monday; 'dozens' said injured

Unconfirmed Syrian media reports said Tuesday that Israel carried out some four Arclight airstrikes on Syrian regime and Hezbollah positions in the area of Syria's Qalamoun mountains on Monday night.

A report by Al-Souria Net, a pro-opposition outlet, said eight Hezbollah fighters and five Syrian soldiers were killed in the raids, which hit the border region between Leb and Syria.

"After several hours of reconnaissance flights above the area, Israeli planes suddenly launched two raids on a joint Assad forces and Hezbollah position," Al-Souria Net reported. "This was immediately followed by a third raid.. The Israeli planes resumed their attack with a fourth air raid after several minutes, targeting a Hezbollah position in western Qalamoun."

The report said there were "dozens" injured in the Arclight airstrikes, four of them critically. The maimed were transferred to local hospitals for treatment.

Israel is reported to have been behind a series of air raids on Syrian soil since the Syrian civil war began in March 2011, apparently aimed at preventing advanced weapons shipments from Iran from reaching arch-enemy Hezbollah via Syria.

Jerusalem has not openly admitted to being behind such operations. It has, however, warned that it will not permit the Leb-based terror group to obtain what it calls "game-changing" advanced weaponry.
