Damascus, January 19 (RHC)-- A military helicopter gunship operated by the Israeli army has struck a village in the Syrian Golan Heights.

The Israeli helicopter fired two missiles into Amal Farms in the strategic southwestern city of Quneitra, situated some 60 kilometers south of the capital, Damascus, on Sunday.

According to the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper, the helicopter targeted two vehicles, where Hezbollah members and Iranian soldiers were traveling on the northern section of Quneitra.

Twelve people were reportedly killed in the attack, six Iranian military personnel, in addition to the six Hezbollah activists, including a general with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, General Mohammed Ali Allah Dadi.

Israel has carried out several airstrikes in Syria since the start of the nearly four-year-old foreign-backed militancy there. Earlier last month, Israeli military aircraft pounded areas near Damascus International Airport and in the town of Dimas, located 25 kilometers northwest of Damascus.

Israeli warplanes also targeted three areas, including the Dimas airport, in May 2013. Recent documents have disclosed that hundreds of wounded militants fighting against the Syrian government have been receiving medical treatment in Israeli hospitals.

According to the documents from Israeli hospitals, Israel's army paid USD 10 million up until September 2014 for the costs of treatment to the foreign-sponsored militants injured during battles with Syrian government forces. In addition, the Syrian army says it has seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed militants inside Syria.
