Iranian military adviser succumbs to injuries sustained from Israeli strike in Damascus
TEHRAN (AA) – An Iranian military adviser died Thursday of injuries sustained from an Israeli airstrike on the Syrian capital, Damascus, early this week.
The semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr said Majid Diwani served as a military adviser in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Israel launched airstrikes on the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus on Oct. 1, killing at least three people and injuring nine others, according to Syrian state media.
Regional tensions have escalated due to Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 41,800 people, mostly women and children.
The conflict spread to Lebanon with Israel launching deadly strikes across the country, which have killed more than 1,100 people and injured over 3,000 others since Sept. 23.
