Iranian military adviser dies in Israeli airstrikes in Syrian city, as reported by Iranian media

Israeli airstrikes in Aleppo on Monday resulted in the death of an ****Iranian military adviser, as reported by Iranian media. CNN reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for a response, but they typically do not confirm such strikes.

Saeed Abiyar, who was an adviser to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Syria, passed away in the attack, as reported by Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.

It is believed that Abiyar is the first IRGC member to have been killed by Israel since April, when Israel carried out a bombing on Iran's embassy compound in Damascus, resulting in the deaths of several commanders.

Syrian state media SANA reported that the most recent incident took place around 12.20 a.m. local time on Monday. Israel conducted an aerial attack with missiles, targeting multiple areas near Aleppo city. However, the exact number of casualties was not disclosed.

Since the start of the civil war in 2011, Iran has sent military advisers to Syria to assist President Bashar al-Assad.

Israel has conducted multiple strikes on targets in Syria during its conflict with Hamas, which is supported by Iran.

In retaliation to an attack in April, Iran launched its first direct strikes on Israel by firing over 300 airborne weapons. However, the majority of these weapons were intercepted and shot down. In response, Israel fired back, targeting a significant Iranian military airbase near Isfahan according to a US official speaking to CNN.
