Beirut, July 29 (RHC)-- At least two members of the Syrian Armed Forces have been killed in an Israeli drone strike in a village in Syria’s strategic southwestern province of Quneitra, located on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, Lebanon's al-Manar TV says.

The official television station of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah said on Wednesday that "two members of Syria's National Defense Forces (a branch of Syrian Armed Forces) were killed when an Israeli drone targeted their car at the entrance of Hader, in Quneitra Province."

However, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said five people in total were killed in the airstrike. The UK-based group said an Israeli plane had hit a car, killing two men from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, and three men from pro-government popular committees in the Druze town.

The Israeli military has not yet commented on the attack. The attack in Syria on Wednesday is not the first to be carried out by Israel. Back in January, an Israeli attack claimed the lives of six Hezbollah fighters near Quneitra.

The Tel Aviv regime has carried out at least five airstrikes against the region over the past year.
