Nine Syria regime loyalists killed in Israeli air strikes: Monitor [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] At least nine fighters loyal to the Syrian regime, including four Syrians, were killed during Israeli air raids late Thursday in the Hama province a central region controlled by the Syrian army and Iranians, a monitor group said. Those killed were either "part of the regime forces or (allied) Iranian forces," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. The toll of nine dead could rise as some people were seriously injured in the raids, it added. Syrian forces fired anti-aircraft systems in response to the deadly Israeli attack in Hama, the Observatory reported. There were explosions and an unspecified number of casualties in the Masyaf area, after an Israeli air raid against regime positions, the group reported. "The area is under the Syrian army’s control and Iranians are present there," said Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman. He said the target was a factory and research center producing short-range surface-to-surface rockets. "Our air defense systems responded to an Israeli attack over Masyaf in rural Hama," state news agency SANA reported.
