Two more Syrians killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes

Two more Syrians were killed in fresh Israeli air strikes in Golan, in the vicinity of Damascus and the southern region on Tuesday.

As per local media reports, this is the fourth such Israeli attack on a war-torn country in less than a week.

During more than a decade of civil war in Syria, Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes on Syrian territory maintaining that it is primarily targeting terrorists and the Syrian army positions.

Thousands of Syrians have been killed during the airstrikes.

Israel fired “barrages of missiles targeting military areas controlled by Iran-backed groups and regime air defence,” said the Britain-based monitor with a wide range of sources inside Syria.

While Israel rarely comments on the strikes it carries out on Syria, it has repeatedly said it will not allow its arch-foe Iran to extend its footprint in the war-torn country.

More than half a million people have been killed and around half of Syria’s pre-war population has been forced from their homes.
