The Britain-based pro-opposition war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two members of Hezbollah were in the car were killed in the strike, while a Syrian driver is critically wounded. There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities or from the Israeli military. Supporters of the group on social media mourned his death, calling him the “shield of the Sayyed”, in reference to his tenure as a bodyguard of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
