Arab media has claimed that 11 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed in an Israeli attack on Damascus Airport in Syria.


The Arab News Agency has claimed in its report that Israel carried out an airstrike on Damascus International Airport on December 28, in which 11 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed.


According to Arab media, the members who were targeted by the Israeli attack were responsible for the maintenance of Iranian forces in eastern Syria and were present at the airport to receive a senior delegation at the time of the attack.


On the other hand, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has dismissed the claims of the Arab media as baseless.


Earlier, the Syrian official media and the Ministry of Defense reported an Israeli attack near Damascus in Eastern Syria.


In addition, no statement has been issued by Israel regarding the attack on the Damascus airport, however, Israel said in a statement that it wants its biggest enemy, Iran, to prolong the presence of President Bashar al-Assad in the country. Government support will not be allowed.


In this regard, the human rights organization working in Syria says that Israel is targeting Syrian air defenses in its attacks, which are located in the southern province of the country.


It should be noted that Iran's Revolutionary Guards confirmed the death of its main commander in Syria, Brigadier General Seyed Reza Mousavi, in an Israeli attack this week.
