Twelve people, among them five advisors of Revolutionary Guards of Iran, were killed yesterday in Damascus in an airstrike attributed to Israel, according to a new tally released today by the non-governmental organization Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The strike targeted and destroyed a four-story building in Mazeh district (west), where a “meeting of pro-Iranian leaders” was being held, the Britain-based NGO, which has a large network of sources in the war-torn country, said Syria.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, five of its “military advisers” and “members of the Syrian forces” were killed in the attack, which was carried out, according to them, with “fighter jets”.
Iran blamed Israel for the attack and vowed to avenge its dead. The Israel has not reacted to these accusations.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the death toll rose from 10 to 12 after two bodies were recovered from the wreckage: five Iranian advisers and seven pro-Iranian fighters, including four Syrians, two Lebanese and one Iraqi.
