(Worthy News) – An alleged Israeli airstrike near the Syrian city of Aleppo early Monday reportedly killed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) General Saeed Abiyar and, according to a war monitor, resulted in the deaths of 16 members of pro-Iran groups, various media reports indicate.
“During last night’s attack by the Zionist regime on Aleppo, Saeed Abyar, one of the IRGC advisers in Syria, was martyred,” reported the Iran’s Tasnim news agency.
Abiyar was a member of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force and had been stationed in Syria since 2012, according to a report in the New York Times.
A Syrian defense ministry statement said Monday that “after midnight… the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the southeast of Aleppo, targeting some positions” near the city. It reported “martyrs” and “some material damage.”
“The death toll of the Israeli strike on a factory in Hayyan in western Aleppo province has risen to 16 pro-Iran group members, including Syrian and foreign fighters,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Israel did not comment on the strike, although it has conducted hundreds of attacks inside Syria since the onset of the country’s civil war. These strikes have primarily targeted attempts to transfer weapons to Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist organization, as well as preventing Iran from establishing a presence near Israel’s border.
