Report:
Israeli airstrike kills 10 ISIS terrorists in Syria
Israeli air force reportedly carried out an airstrike against an ISIS
affiliate in Syria, killing at least 10 ISIS fighters.
Israel’s Air Force
(IAF) carried out an airstrike in the western countryside of Daraa, inside
Syria, killing at least 12 persons. – most of them members and leaders of Jaysh
Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, a terrorist group that has sworn allegiance to ISIS.
The attack on the
organization’s headquarters left four commanders dead, SOHR reported. The
UK-based human rights watchdog estimates that the death toll is expected to
rise due to the critical condition of the wounded casualties.
Jaysh Khaled Ibn
al-Waleed, an armed Salafi jihadist group active in southern
Syria, controls a small area in the Yarmouk Basin, adjacent to the Israeli
Golan Heights. It was formed by a merger of the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade,
the Islamic Muthanna Movement and the Army of Jihad, all affiliated
with ISIS.
SOHR notes that
this was not the first attack on the terror group, but it is unclear who
carried out the previous attacks.
The IDF has
remained silent on this latest report, as usual in such circumstances.
IAF airstrikes on Syrian targets,
primarily against weapons shipments from Iran en route for Hezbollah in
Lebanon, have been reported in the past.
Israeli leaders
have repeatedly vowed to operate to ensure the country’s security interests are
maintained.
