Iranian media claimed an IRGC general was killed in an alleged-Israeli strike on Monday in Syria’s northern city of Aleppo, which a war monitor said killed 16 members of pro-Iran groups.
“During last night’s attack by the Zionist regime on Aleppo, Saeed Abyar, one of the IRGC advisers in Syria, was martyred,” said Iran’s Tasnim news agency, referring to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
According to The New York Times, Abyar was in the IRGC’s expeditionary Quds Force and had been stationed in Syria since 2012.
