IRGC's veteran military advisor in Syria martyred in Israeli strike
A veteran member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), who was serving as a military advisor in Syria, has been martyred in an Israeli airstrike in the Sayyeda Zeinab neighborhood of Damascus.
The senior IRGC commander, Seyyed Razi Mousavi, was martyred by the Israeli regime on Monday while on an advisory mission, Press TV's correspondent in Damascus reported.
Mousavi was one of the companions of Iran's top anti-terror commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the US in Iraq four years ago.
General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC, and his Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), were martyred along with their companions in a US drone strike on January 3, 2020.
The Israeli regime has for years targeted what it calls Iran-linked positions in Syria.
In a statement, the IRGC said Mousavi was martyred in a criminal missile attack by the "fake and child-killing Zionist regime" adding that the usurping and savage Israeli regime would undoubtedly pay the price for this crime.
The IRGC statement emphasized that more details would be provided to the Iranian nation soon.
