Saeed Abiyar, a senior military advisor for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Aleppo, Syria, on Sunday night. Abiyar was a prominent leader responsible for overseeing military operations and coordination between militias supported by the Khamenei regime. This marks the first elimination of an Iranian figure in Syria since the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, which resulted in the deaths of several senior generals and led to a significant response from Tehran. The airstrike also reportedly killed a group of Hezbollah militias, including a Hezbollah leader.
