The number of volunteers recruited into Iran-loyal militias in Syria are now more than 18,000, according to the UK-based watchdog.
Israel meanwhile has been consistently attacking positions in southern Syria to force Iranian-supported to withdraw from the area.

On January 13, at least 57 military personnel were killed in a series of Israeli offensives in eastern Syria, the highest toll from such attacks in the war-torn country, the Observatory reported at the time.
