More on this story from yesterday. [IsraelTimes] State media denies casualties in late-night attack, the second within a week following a month-long lull in reported IDF raids.A presumed Israeli ... KABOOM!... killed 16 Iran-backed fighters in eastern Syria late Wednesday, a Syrian opposition-linked group said. Syrian state media reported that Israel conducted an attack on the T-4 air base near Palmyra at 10:23 p.m. Wednesday, firing a number of missiles from the US-controlled al-Tanf region of eastern Syria near the Iraq border. The Israel Defense Forces did not comment on the reported strikes, in accordance with its policy. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Thursday said the apparent Israeli attack also targeted sites outside the cities of Mayadeen ”You ‘kill’ our IDF decoy mannequin, we kill you!” and Bukamal, areas that have long been suspected of having an Iranian presence.According to the Observatory, the 16 slain bully boyz were "Iraqi paramilitary fighters loyal to Iran," seven of which were killed outside Mayadeen and nine near Bukamal. Iraqi Hezbollah, perhaps, which is unconnected to the Lebanese group of that name. Neither Syrian state media SANA nor other outlets in the country reported strikes in those areas on Wednesday night, and The Times of Israel could not independently verify the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights’ claims.SANA reported only on the attack on the T-4 base, also known as Tiyas base, which it said caused damage, but no casualties.
