Israeli Strikes In Aleppo Kill Iranian Revolutionary Guard Advisor

Funeral of senior adviser for Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, in Tehran

Iranian media reports that Israeli strikes on the Syrian city of Aleppo have resulted in the death of an advisor to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Israeli military has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the incident. The airstrike occurred at 12:20 AM on Monday morning, as confirmed by Syrian state media, SANA. Aleppo, a city heavily impacted by the Syrian civil war, was the site of the attack.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had a significant presence in the region during the conflict. Reports indicate that multiple strikes took place in Aleppo, leading to the death of an IRGC advisor. This development raises concerns about potential escalation in the area.

Relations between Iran and Israel have been tense, with recent incidents including the bombing of Iran's embassy compound in Damascus on April 1st, allegedly by Israel. In response, Iran launched its first retaliatory strike from its own territory against Israeli targets. Iran publicly announced a shift in strategy, vowing to retaliate whenever its personnel are targeted, whether inside or outside Iran.

Both Israeli and Iranian authorities have not officially commented on the recent strikes in Aleppo. The lack of clarity surrounding the situation leaves room for speculation about possible future escalations in the volatile Middle East region.
