The Associated Press reports that Monday’s strike hit the Aqraba region, according to the pro-government Dama Post.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war, said the attack hit a farm housing members of Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed factions.
An official from one of the Iran-backed groups, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss military activities, said that apart from the deaths of the two civilians, no Hezbollah members were injured.
The strike comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and a drone strike on Sunday that killed three US soldiers and wounded dozens of others in northeastern Jordan, near the border with Syria.
