Senior Iran Revolutionary Guard officials killed in Syria strike blamed on Israel
Five senior members of Iran’s security forces have been killed in a suspected air strike on the Syrian capital.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard blamed Israel for the attack, which it said killed its military advisers as well as a number of Syrian forces.
Israel has not commented. For years it has carried out strikes on Iranian-linked targets in Syria.
Such strikes have intensified since the Israel-Gaza war began following Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel.
