Senior Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Seyyed Razi Mousavi was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting Syria's Damascus on Monday.

Seyyed Mousavi was one of the oldest IRGC commanders in Syria, and he was close to the commander of the IRGC's elite al-Quds Force, martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

The Iranian commander was martyred after the Israeli occupation launched three missiles at his location in the suburbs of the Syrian capital of Damascus, as reported by Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
