At least Four members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard have died this Saturday in an attack against a residential building in Damascus, of which Tehran and Syria accuse Israel.

“Once again, the brutal and criminal Zionist regime has committed an act of aggression against Damascus, the capital of Syria, and during the air attack by the fighters of the aggressor and usurper regime, Several Syrian soldiers and four military advisors have died of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said in a statement.

For its part, the official Syrian news agency SANA has briefly reported “a attack on a residential building in the neighborhood of Mezzeh, in Damascus, as a result of Israeli aggression.” In turn, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has indicated that the allegedly Israeli missile directed at a four-story building, which ended up completely destroyed, has caused the death of five people, as a preliminary balance.

The deaths of the four Iranian soldiers occur after early Tuesday Iran bombs alleged Israeli targets on Iraqi soil, attacks in which two people died. The Revolutionary Guard then stated that the place in Iraqi Kurdistan that it attacked with missiles was the “center for developing espionage operations and planning terrorist actions in the region, and especially in our country” of Israeli espionage.

Tehran also bombed Syria and Pakistan. Iran justified these attacks by the Kerman attacks, which left 94 dead this month; an attack against a police station in which 11 police officers died and for the death of Iranian commanders and the so-called Axis of Resistance in recent weeks in Syria and Iraq.

These bombings occur at a time of tension in the Middle East due to the war in Gaza, and amid repeated attacks by pro-Iran militias in Iraq against US positions in the country and in Syria, in addition to assaults by Yemen’s Houthis against ships in the Red Sea. Iran has been a key ally of Damascus in the war in Syria, where Tehran has sent soldiers and military advisers, as well as providing economic and political support to its main ally in the Middle East.
