At least twelve Iranian-backed soldiers have been killed in airstrikes in Syria, according to the British-based Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR).

It is unclear who is behind the attacks, which were carried out in the city of Dayr al-Zor (Deir Ezzor) and in the Boukamal region near the border with Iraq, according to SOHR, which monitors events in the war-torn country from exile in the UK.

Israel has previously carried out hundreds of attacks against Iran-backed groups in the country, including the Lebanese Hezbollah. The US has also previously struck such militias after attacks on American bases.
