Friday's strikes killed 38 Syrian soldiers, seven Hezbollah members and seven Syrian pro-Iran fighters, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday. This was up from a total of 44 according to an earlier toll.They targeted"a rocket depot belonging to Lebanon's Hezbollah" near the Aleppo airport in northern Syria, according to the war monitor.
But Israel's military has said it killed the deputy head of Hezbollah's rocket unit in Lebanon, Ali Naim, whose death the Iran-backed group confirmed.Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on social media that he visited northern Israel on Friday"to closely examine another successful termination like the one that was executed this morning", in Lebanon and Syria.
Hezbollah, which has a powerful arsenal of rockets and missiles, has exchanged near-daily fire with the Israeli military since Israel waged a deadly military offensive on Gaza after an October 7 cross-border attack led by Hamas in which nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed.
