Air strikes in eastern Syria “likely” launched by Israel killed at least 19 pro-Iran fighters Saturday, a war monitor said, reporting three more dead in the country’s north. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said “19 pro-Iranian fighters, including four Syrians, and six Iraqis, were killed and more than 18 were wounded” in at least nine air strikes overnight near the Iraqi border. It said the raids were “likely carried out by Israel”, after earlier indicating they were “likely American”.
