Israel blamed for deadly strike on Iranian convoy at Syria-Iraq border

(Worthy News) – Israel was accused Wednesday of carrying out a series of overnight airstrikes on a convoy near the Syria-Iraq border that left at least 10 people dead, including a number of Iranian fighters.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the strikes on a series of trucks as they crossed into Syria from Iraq at the al-Qaim crossing shortly before midnight Tuesday. The trucks were reportedly carrying fuel and possibly weapons from Iran to Lebanon.

A report Wednesday from The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the attack, said Israel was behind the strikes, leaving 10 people dead, including an unknown number of Iranians. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
