A member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was killed on Friday in an air strike launched by the Israeli army on the Syrian capital Damascus, according to Iran's semi-official news agency.
Tasnim news agency reported that a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Saeed Ali Dadi, was killed in the attack that targeted southern Damascus.
The agency noted that Dadi was a “military advisor.”
On Friday, the Syrian regime's news agency SANA announced that air defense systems responded to an "Israeli aggression" that targeted points south of Damascus.
Since the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Israel has occasionally carried out attacks on military positions belonging to Iran-backed groups and the Syrian army in Syria.
