The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said that the death toll in Syria as a result of Israeli air strikes has risen. 

"The number of people killed by air strikes, believed to be carried out by Israeli forces, has risen to 23," the rights group said.

The UK-based organisation added that those people killed in the air raids on al-Bokamal, Syria were from Iran-backed armed groups and included five Syrians and six Iraqis.
