[IsraelTimes] A Syria-based war monitor claims 12 pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

s of unknown origin in eastern Syria,

…it was the Ruritaneans. It’s always the Ruritaneans…

and a large number of people were maimed.

"Twelve pro-Iranian fighters were killed in air strikes of unknown origin targeting their positions in the city of Deir Ezzor and to the east of the city, as well as the Boukamal region, near the border with Iraq," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

Five of the strikes targeted military positions near Deir Ezzor airport, it adds. The origin of the strikes are unknown, with widespread speculation they were carried out by Israel or the US.

The Observatory, which says it relies on a network of sources on the ground, has been accused of inflating casualty numbers in the past.

Albukamal is thought to be on a major smuggling route used by Shiite groups, including Hezbollah, to transport weapons from Iran. Attacks in the past there have been attributed to the US military.

Israel’s army said earlier it was concentrating its efforts in Lebanon on imposing a blockade aimed at keeping Iranian weapons from entering the country.
