This comes less than one month after an Israeli strike on a building in the suburbs of Damascus resulted in the martyrdom of the IRGC's intelligence advisor in Syria Hojjatollah Omidvar, his assistant, and 3 other members of the group.
Another senior IRGC commander, Seyyed Razi Mousavi, was killed along with several of his companions in an Israeli strike on their position in December last year.

In line with the Resistance ultimatum, a drone attack was conducted last week targeting a US military base allegedly located in northeast Jordan, killing three US soldiers.
Washington warned following the operation that an incoming attack would soon take place, with US President Joe Biden agreeing on a "campaign" lasting several days to conduct the strikes.
Meanwhile, American media reported that the US attacks would include "Iranian personnel and facilities" in Iraq and Syria.
