Six Iranian militiamen were killed in an airstrike near the Syria-Iran border Saturday night in an attack attributed to Israel, according to a Syrian rights group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is affiliated with forces opposed to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad in the war-torn country, said aircraft bombed sites belonging to the Assad regime and pro-Iranian militias in the al-Bukamal area near the Iraq border.

The report added that four of the killed were Syrian nationals.

Initial reports said the strike was carried out by American coalition aircraft and that there were no casualties.

Several days ago, regime-affiliated media outlets in Syria reported that two Syrian soldiers and five foreigners were killed in three Israeli airstrikes on various military sites across the country.

Several hours later, the former head of the IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin warned that Iran could respond to the airstrikes and that contrary to certain assessments, the Islamic republic was not withdrawing its forces from Syria.

"The extensive โ€Žattacks in Syria [last Tuesday] night show that the assessment that the Iranians are leaving Syria is a wish," Yadlin said.

"An attack near Sweida shows that Iran is broadening its presence in the sensitive area of the โ€ŽMountain of the Druze, as well. This area includes the area to which the Russians committed that Iran and Hezbollah โ€Žwould have no access," he tweeted.
