The US military said on Monday it conducted an airstrike in Syria that killed two ISIS operatives and wounded one.

ISIS operatives were moving a truckload of weapons in Deir Ezzor Province, when they were targeted with the airstrike, US Central Command said in a statement on social media platform X.

Central Command said the area was formerly controlled by ex-President Bashar Assad’s regime and its Russian supporters.

Assad fled to Moscow after opposition forces seized control of Damascus earlier this month.

Hezbollah party has reportedly chosen a location for the burial of its late Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, sources told Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday.
Nasrallah - killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27- will be buried in a “plot of land located on the old road leading to the Rafik Hariri International Airport, with plans to turn it into a shrine”, said the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“Preparations are underway for the funeral of Nasrallah and the party's Executive Council Chairman, Hashem Safieddine, in a joint public ceremony,” they added, noting that Safieddine will be buried in his hometown of Deir Qanoun in the Tyre district as per his wishes.
Nasrallah led Hezbollah through decades of conflict with Israel, overseeing its transformation from an armed group into a political force that – backed by Iran – dominated Lebanese politics.
Separately, the sources addressed the issue of the exploding pagers, stating that "investigations are ongoing until those responsible for this breach are identified".
