Three pro-Iranian Revolutionary Guards “military experts” from Iraq and Iran were killed in an air strike in eastern Syria yesterday, local media outlets reported.
The Ain Al-Furat website said an “unidentified” drone targeted a convoy of pro-Iran military experts near Sabikhan village in Syria’s eastern Deir Ez-Zor province killing three passengers: two Iraqis and an Iranian.
The site said the targeted cars were carrying a “monitoring and inspection” committee of military experts who came from Iraq two days ago to inspect the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ positions in Deir Ez-Zor.
According to the site, the committee included 15 “military experts” from Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.
