Beirut -
Israeli air raids on three military sites near Damascus killed at least 42 soldiers at the weekend, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in an updated toll on Monday.
“At least 42 soldiers were killed in the strikes, and another 100 who would usually be at the targeted sites remain unaccounted for,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
The Britain-based watchdog group had earlier given a toll of at least 15 soldiers killed. - Sapa-AFP
