The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports that the strike targeted two distinct sites linked to Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias.
A senior commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps was reportedly killed in an airstrike near Damascus, Tehran said on Monday.
The attack, attributed to Israel, eliminated Sayyed Reza Mousavi, a key figure responsible for Iranian forces in Syria.
Mousavi, a high-ranking Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, was overseeing Iranian military operations in Syria.
He was a close confidant of Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian commander killed by a US drone strike near the Baghdad International Airport in Iraq in 2020.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the strike targeted two distinct sites linked to Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias.
Witnesses reported loud explosions, and plumes of smoke billowed from the targeted locations, creating a visible spectacle in the Damascus countryside.
