IRGC general killed in alleged Israeli strike near Aleppo Monday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn alleged Israeli strike near the Syrian city of Aleppo early Monday killed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps general Saeed Abiyar, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news outlet reports.
Tasnim describes Abiyar as an adviser, a term it uses for all of its military personnel in Syria. According to The New York Times, Abyar was in the IRGC’s expeditionary Quds Force and had been stationed in Syria since 2012.
Tasnim, which is seen as closely tied to the IRGC, says 17 people were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes around Aleppo just after midnight on Monday.
