"Israel" is behind an attack in Syria that martyred dozens, CNN reported Monday, citing a US official.

According to Syrian state television, the strike targeted pro-regime forces and caused multiple casualties. The airstrike took place on the Iraq-Syria border on Sunday and martyred 22 members of Hezbollah in Iraq.

The so-called "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", a UK-based war monitor, said the number of pro-regime casualties had risen to 52.

The attack took place in al-Harra, southeast of the town of al-Bukamal, state news agency SANA said, citing a military source.

Earlier today, Syrian state TV reported that the US-led coalition struck a military position in the country's east.

The strike took place in al-Harra, southeast of al-Bukamal, Syrian state media said, though official reports did not confirm the death toll.

A military commander close to Syrian Army told Reuters that drones, "probably American," had bombed positions of Iraqi factions between al-Bukamal and Tanf and Syrian military positions.
