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.
Lebanese news outlet al-Mayadeen, seen as close to Shiite terror group Hezbollah, also blamed Israel for the attack.
The Lebanese report said two fuel tankers were targeted in the strikes and claimed there were no deaths. It cited unnamed sources on the ground.
