Israel “should await Iran’s response” the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened on Wednesday, after an alleged Israeli strike killed a high-ranking IRGC member in Syria for the first time since the death of a senior IRGC general in Syria in April.
IRGC commander Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami offered his condolences on the death of Saeed Abyar, who was killed in an airstrike near the city of Aleppo in northern Syria on Tuesday while on “an advisory mission,” according to the Iranian regime-affiliated news outlet Tasnim.
The New York Times reported that Abyar was part of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force and had been stationed in Syria since 2012.
The airstrike targeted a warehouse in Hayyan, west of Aleppo, and killed 16 operatives of Iranian proxy groups, “including Syrian and foreign fighters,” the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
