Syrian Fighters from Homs Killed in Israel's Strike on Hezbollah in Aleppo
In a previous overview of Israeli strikes on positions of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah’s al-Radwan Force in Syria prior to Iran’s retaliation for the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, I noted some of the Syrian fighters from Aleppo who were killed in the strike on the al-Radwan Force at the end of March. There were however other Hezbollah-linked Syrian personnel killed in that strike too.
In this post, I note those personnel originating from Homs province: those personnel originating specifically from Shi‘a localities in the province. The information about these ‘martyrs’, which has only recently come to light, comes primarily from a pro-‘resistance’ contact from Homs who has been building an archive of his own for ‘martyrs’ from the Homs area over the course of the Syrian civil war, based on his own connections with the families of these ‘martyrs’. Should more information become available then I will update this post accordingly. Besides the fact that documenting ‘martyrs’ is useful for the historical record, this information again shows that for that specific strike on 29 March, the Israelis clearly had good intelligence.
