Seyyed Razi Mousavi, a key member of the Revolutionary Guards, died in an Israeli strike, Iran says.

A senior Iranian commander was killed in a suspected Israeli strike in Syria. Iranian media say.

Seyyed Razi Mousavi was “an experienced military adviser” to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said.

It says he was killed in an air strike on the Sayyida Zeinab area south-east of Damascus. Israel has carried out military strikes in Syria for years, against what it says are Iran-linked targets.

The strikes have increased in frequency over the past months following Hamas’ attack on 7 October.

    Is Israel’s aim so shitty that they can’t shoot straight? Gaza is in the opposite direction of Syria.

        Syria is not Iran. If Iran is your concern go bomb Iran and see how that goes for you.
