Iran Condemns Israel’s Terrorist Attack on Golan Heights

(FNA)- The Iranian foreign ministry in a statement on Monday strongly condemned the Israeli airstrike on Syria's Golan Heights, which claimed the lives of several Hezbollah members.

On Sunday, a military helicopter gunship operated by the Israeli army fired two missiles into Amal Farms in the strategic Southwestern city of Quneitra, situated some 60 kilometers (37 miles) South of the capital, Damascus.

"This incident once again showed that Syria is part of the confrontation with the Zionist regime and Hezbollah is still standing firmly against Israel's occupation and foreigners' interference in the affairs of the regional nations …," the Iranian foreign ministry said in its statement.

The foreign ministry extended condolences to Hezbollah leader, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the bereaved families of those killed in the attack.

Following the attack on Sunday, Hezbollah announced that several of its fighters were killed in the airstrike.

"A group of Hezbollah mujahedeen were martyred in a Zionist rocket attack in Quneitra, and their names will be revealed later," said a message on Hezbollah's al-Manar news channel, adding that they were killed during a field reconnaissance mission in the Amal Farms village of Quneitra.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah officials said Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of Hezbollah's slain top military commander, Imad Mughniyeh, and a field commander were killed in the attack.
