Top IRGC general who sent troops to Syria dies of COVID-19
For some reason Allah disapproved of him, so he fixed the problem.
[IsraelTimes] An Iranian general reportedly instrumental in sending troops to Syria has died of COVID-19, according to Tehran.

Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Brigadier-General Abdul Rasool Ostovar Mahmudabadi died Sunday after returning from Iraq, according to Tasnim news, quoting top Iranian General Hossein Salami.

Salami describes him as close with assassinated Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani. Reports say he helped establish and expand Iran’s presence in Syria, a major target of Israel.

#2 With him being an IRGC general, I'd be looking for co-morbidities - bullet wounds, drone zaps, shrapnel marks, and such.
