IRGC military advisor killed in alleged Israeli strike in Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that a military advisor of it was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Syria early on Friday.
In a statement, the IRGC said that Milad Heydari was killed in “the Zionist regime’s aerial attack on the Syrian capital.”
Early on Friday, Syria’s state-run news agency SANA said Israel launched “bursts of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a site in Damascus countryside.”
This is the second strike in 24 hours and the sixth in March.
The IRGC warned that it will respond to the attack. “The fake and criminal Zionist regime will undoubtedly receive a response to this crime,” the statement read.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes on facilities in Damascus countryside.
Kanaani urged international organizations especially the UN Security Council to act against the “aggressive measures by the Zionist regime as soon as possible.”
