Israeli fire kills three in Syria at pro-government military base

BEIRUT, Apr 23: An Israeli attack against a military base for the Syrian pro-government National Defence Forces in southern Syria killed three NDF members today, the NDF militia and a monitoring group said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitoring group, said it remained unclear if the source of the bombardment in Quneitra province was an air strike or shelling.
Israel has carried out air strikes or fired mortar rounds during the six-year war in Syria, often in response to the occasional spillover, including stray shells from fighting among Syrian factions.
The Israeli military declined to comment on the reports.
The Syrian army could not immediately be reached for comment.
