Two Hezbollah members killed in Syria's Aleppo
A Hezbollah commander and his bodyguard, both Lebanese, were killed when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militants targeted their military vehicle with a guided missile in Aleppo’s western countryside, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.
The attack also killed a Syrian national.
The Observatory noted that the casualties were Hezbollah’s first fatalities in Syria this year.
Around 2,000 Hezbollah fighters, including senior commanders, have been killed in the Syrian war since the Iran-backed group openly intervened on the side of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in 2012.
