Alleged Israeli Airstrike Kills 11 Iranian Military Leaders in Syria

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denies the report amid ongoing conflict with Israel.

  • An alleged Israeli airstrike on Syria’s Damascus International Airport killed 11 Iranian military leaders late Thursday, according to reports.
  • The strike targeted members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tasked with overseeing Iran-backed forces in eastern Syria.
  • The IRGC denied the report, claiming that it was “baseless.”
  • The strike came just days after Sayyed Razi Mousavi, a top commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike near Damascus.
  • Israel has faced sporadic strikes from Iran-backed militants in Lebanon and Yemen, while seeking to avoid full-scale fighting along a second front.
