Report: Two Hezbollah men killed in alleged IAF strike on Syrian sites storing Russian-made advanced missiles for Hezbollah; Moscow demands explanation

Fire from alleged IAF strike in Syria

(Ynet) Two Hezbollah activists were killed Sunday in what foreign sources have said was an Israeli airstrike on military targets in Syria, the Al Arabiya news channel reported Monday. The report contradicts earlier claims by Syrian security forces, who said Sunday that there had been no casualties in the attack.

While official Israel continues to keep mum on the daylight attack in Syria that has been attributed to it, the Arab press has in the meantime published more and more details about the alleged Israeli assault.

Al-Arabiya also said that one of the two dead men had been a senior military official in Hezbollah.
