Casualties among Iran’s IRGC in airstrikes on Syrian-Iraqi border
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – A militant of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was killed and three others were injured on Saturday night in unknown airstrikes that targeted an IRGC patrol on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
In late Saturday, Israeli airstrikes targeted the Aleppo International Airport, putting it out of service for the second time in three days.
A military source in the IRGC’s al-Quds Force in Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, said that an unidentified warplane targeted with three strikes a joint patrol by the al-Quds Force and Ground Force of the IRGC, near the Akashat area on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
He added to North Press that the airstrikes killed one militant and injured three others.
The patrol headed to Iraqi territory after being subjected to three strikes, but the warplane targeted it inside Iraq too, the source noted, without adding where was the targeted area and the extent of the damage.
A military source from Iraq told North Press that the strike inside Iraqi territory targeted a military post of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces, causing material damage.
