Israel is behind an attack in Syria that killed dozens, CNN reported
Monday, citing a U.S. official.
According to Syrian state television, the strike targeted pro-regime
forces and caused multiple casualties. The airstrike took place on the >Iraq-Syria border on Sunday and killed 22 members of a Shiite militia. The >Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, said the
number of pro-regime casualties had risen to 52.
The attack took place in al-Harra, southeast of the town of al-Bukamal,
state news agency SANA said, citing a military source.
Earlier today, Syrian state TV reported that the U.S.-led coalition struck
a military position in the country's east. The Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights reports that 40 pro-Assad regime fighters were killed in the >strike.

The U.S.-led coalition is supporting an alliance of Syrian Arab and
Kurdish militia fighting Islamic State northeast of al-Bukamal.

I only come here to post about once a week now. Most of what DJW
posts is just snips and pastes from his favourite "progressive" news
sources and that, I find, is tedious. His incessant Trump bashing is
almost infantile and it may well drive me away for good soon.
Keep me interested Slider, joust and fight, show some spirit. I won't
ever call you "wizened" even though you do stoop to calling me
"baldy" lol
