ISRAEL carried out air strikes against an airbase in north-eastern Syria on Sunday evening, killing two soldiers and wounding three others, Syrian media reported.
The strike came just days after Israeli missiles allegedly targeted a convoy near the Syria-Iraq border, which reportedly left at least 10 people dead, including a number of Iranian fighters.
That strike was said to target lorries carrying fuel and possibly weapons from Iran to Lebanon.
