Seven dead in strikes on arms convoy in Syria: Monitor

BEIRUT: Seven people have been killed after air strikes destroyed a convoy of trucks carrying arms into eastern Syria from Iraq, a war monitor said Monday.The seven were “truck drivers and their assistants, all of them non-Syrians”, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that they were “killed as a result of unidentified aircraft targeting a convoy of Iran-backed groups, last night”.The strikes destroyed a convoy of six refrigerated trucks transporting Iranian weapons in the Albu Kamal border region, the Observatory, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria, had said Sunday.No country claimed the strikes, but Israel has carried out hundreds of air and missile strikes against Iran-backed and government forces in Syria, where the US military is also active.“The trucks were transporting Iranian weapons,“ Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman had told AFP Sunday.Tehran provides military support to its ally Damascus in Syria’s civil war, including through armed factions.
