Beirut, Lebanon: Air strikes in eastern Syria 'likely' launched by Israel killed at least 19 pro-Iran fighters Saturday, a war monitor said, reporting three more dead in the country's north.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said '19 pro-Iranian fighters, including four Syrians, and six Iraqis, were killed and more than 18 were wounded' in at least nine air strikes overnight near the Iraqi border.
