Israel has carried out attacks against what it has described as Iran-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran's influence has grown since it began supporting regime leader Bashar al Assad since the civil war started in 2011
A military adviser to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps has died of injuries sustained during last week's Israeli air strike near Syria's capital, the Iranian semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
Milad Haydari, another Revolutionary Guards military adviser and officer, was reported killed on Friday. Israel has for years carried out attacks against what it has described as Iran-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran's influence has grown since it began supporting Syrian regime leader Assad in the civil war that started in 2011.
While Israel rarely comments on the strikes it carries out on Syria, it has repeatedly said it will not allow its arch-foe Iran to extend its footprint in the war-torn country.
