The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group opposing the Assad regime, claims that an attack in Baniyas, located in the country's north-west, was orchestrated by Israel and targeted a villa in the coastal city.
The organization's report indicates that one individual was killed and suggests that the assault was specifically aimed at three high-ranking Iranians.
In a related report, the "Nors" Syrian research center also confirmed the attack in Baniyas.
It detailed that the villa under attack had been leased just a few days prior to Iranian officials, who had escaped from the vicinity of Sayyidah Zaynab near Damascus due to an earlier Israeli attack.
British police arrested five men near a US air base on suspicion of explosive and terrorism offences on Sunday after a tip-off that three vans had been heading to the military airfield which has been used to strike Iran.
Iran's armed forces are prepared for any renewed U.S. attacks, state media quoted army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia saying on Sunday, after US President Donald Trump said he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting.
Israel is heading into what might be its most consequential election since statehood, and somehow, nobody running seems to want to talk about the price of hummus.
