[IsraelTimes] Iranian media reports a senior military adviser from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed in Syria.

According to the reports, Brig. Gen. Kioumars Pourhashemi was killed in western Aleppo.



Syrian rebel groups launched a large-scale attack on areas controlled by government forces yesterday, setting off fierce clashes and seizing territory in western Aleppo.

The offensive was launched the same day that the ceasefire began between Syrian ally Hezbollah and Israel.
Rudaw names him as Brigadier General Kioumars Pour Hashemi, known as Haji Hashem.

#1 Assad's forces were the 'winner' in the Aleppo battle that lasted a half decade and sort of ended in 2016.

Somewhere over 30k casualties in that conflict.

Hezbollah and Russia both helped Assad but the Syrian Govt forces suffered a lot of damage so the 'win' wasn't really worth the cost in a lot of judgements.
