The senior commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and several Iranian diplomats were killed in an Israeli attack.
Iranian state media confirmed that the senior commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, and a number of Iranian diplomats were killed in an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus.
The Quds Force is the IRGC's overseas operations arm.
However, Iran's ambassador to Syria, Hossein Akbari, and his family were not injured in the attack. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) cited sources in Syria as saying that the attack also killed two Iranian advisers and five other members of the IRGC.
Israel has yet to comment on the above information.
