The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights reported today that since the beginning of 2019, Israel has attacked targets in Syria nearly 40 times.

According to the report, 198 Iranian and Hezbollah forces and allies were killed, along with 27 members and officers of the Syrian army.

These numbers include the 9 killed last night on am airstrike on a factory in Masyaf.

Targets included shipments of arms, arms depots, ammunition, military vehicles, radars, and air defense batteries, as well as missile manufacturing plants.

The report says that 11 civilians were killed as well, but I believe that some or most of them were killed from shrapnel from Syrian anti-aircraft missiles. Even if the figures are accurate that comes out to over 95% military deaths, an extremely high number for wartime.
