Iranian militias warned of a "harsh response" after a number of Syrian and Iranian-backed forces were killed and wounded in an alleged Israeli airstrike near Palmyra in central Syria on Wednesday night, the second such airstrike in the past week.
The Syrian state news agency SANA reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a communications tower and a number of nearby sites, killing one Syrian soldier and wounding three others. The strike was carried out from the direction of the al-Tanf area near the Jordanian and Iraqi borders with Syria, a Syrian military source told SANA.
Around the time of the airstrike, the airspace above the Golan Heights was closed to flights until Friday at 12:15 a.m.
On Thursday morning, a joint operations room affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Hezbollah and the Assad regime warned that it has decided to respond harshly to the airstrikes after a number of operatives were killed and wounded in them, according to Hezbollah-affiliated media. It is unclear if the statement was referring to casualties other than those reported by SANA.

Does anyone think Dr. Zira has America’s best interest in mind when talking to her family back home.
Israel flying top cover for ISIS again.
It is insane that they support the Sunnis.
They never seem to bomb ISIS, ever. Every strike they do is indeed at an enemy of Israel. But they always bomb them when they are heavily engaged against ISIS.
This strike was at Palmyra, 200 miles away from the Israeli border.
If they bomb Syrian forces enough, one day they will have a wahabbist Sunni Syria on their border. I cannot see how that could be better.
I could even make sense of it if SOMETIMES they bombed ISIS or rebels. But they make little sense doing it that way.
