Two high-ranking Iranian military advisers were killed in an alleged Israeli strike on the Syrian capital Damascus, Iranian media outlets report.

“Two high-ranking Iranian advisers were martyred in today’s attack by the Zionist regime [Israel] in the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus,” Iran’s Mehr news agency says, quoting an informed but unnamed source.

State-run Press TV reports the same information, adding the two were members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
