The Lebanon and Syria leader of Iran’s Quds Force — the foreign operations arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — was among eight people killed in an Israeli strike on an Iranian embassy annex in Damascus Monday, a war monitor said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on sources in Syria, said it “confirmed the killing of a high-ranking leader who served as the leader of the Quds Force for Syria and Lebanon, two Iranian advisers, and five members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” in the Israeli strike on Damascus.
