?? ?? Iran fires missiles into Syria over parade attack | Al Jazeera English

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had launched ballistic missiles into eastern Syria, targeting fighters it blamed for a recent attack on a military parade in southwestern Iran.

At least six missiles were fired into Syria at 2am (00:00 GMT), targeting the bases of "takfiri terrorists" in eastern Syria, the IRGC statement said.

Iranian officials use the word "takfiri" to describe Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters.
