Beirut: At least 10 members of a small jihadist faction linked to the Islamic State group were killed Monday by suspected Israeli air strikes in southern Syria, a monitor said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes hit the town of Sahm al-Jolan in the west of Daraa province.
The monitor said 10 fighters from the Jaish Khaled Bin Walid group were killed, along with two women believed to be the wives of fighters from the faction.
The strike hit a base belonging to the group, which has pledged allegiance to IS but was never formally incorporated into it.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the report.
