At least six Hezbollah members were killed in an Israeli strike on the terrorist group’s headquarters in Al-Qusayr, southwest of Homs, Syria, near northern Lebanon on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

The six people killed were “Iran-backed fighters” of non-Syrian nationality, according to the war monitor, which added that others were wounded.

An Israeli missile hit a truck in Al-Qusayr, the Hezbollah-affiliated television station Al-Mayadeen reported.

Israel also reportedly attacked another terrorist target near Homs on Monday, amid an ongoing effort to prevent Iranian military entrenchment in the country.

Earlier this month, the state-run SANA news agency reported that Israeli fighter jets targeted a building in the Damascus countryside, causing “some material losses.”

That came one week after Syria said that an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the capital wounded eight troops.

Israel rarely admits to attacks on Syrian territory, although in February the IDF said that it has attacked more than 50 targets belonging to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed terrorist groups in Syria since Oct. 7.

The same month, Reuters reported that Iran removed senior officers of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from Syria following a series of deadly aerial attacks attributed to Israel.
