The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the death of nine individuals, including one Syrian and eight from Iranian militias, following unidentified airstrikes targeting their headquarters in the city of Deir ez-Zor.
The Syrian Observatory, based in Britain, stated that there is information about the killing of a senior figure in the airstrike that targeted the Al-Filat neighbourhood in the city.
The Observatory clarified, in statements to Sky News Arabia, that these raids were carried out by unidentified aircraft, shortly after an Iranian cargo plane landed, transporting members of the Revolutionary Guard to Deir ez-Zor before the bombardment.
According to Observatory sources, the unidentified aircraft targeted farms in Al-Mayadin and two headquarters of the militias in the city of Al-Bukamal, as well as a headquarters near the Al-Abbas area, and the headquarters in the Al-Filat neighbourhood in Deir ez-Zor.
The Syrian Observatory for Sky News Arabia stated that the bombardment in Deir ez-Zor targeted a site belonging to the Revolutionary Guard, expressing its belief that the Israeli bombardment in Deir ez-Zor against Iranian militias is likely.
An assault by the Islamic State (IS) resulted in the deaths of at least 11 individuals while they were hunting desert truffles in northern Syria on Sunday, according to a monitoring organization.
This incident marks the latest in a series of similar attacks.
Each year, from February to April, numerous Syrians, facing economic hardship, venture into the expansive Syrian desert to search for this prized delicacy, despite the risks posed by jihadists and landmines.
Desert truffles command significant prices in a nation grappling with over a decade of conflict and severe economic turmoil.
