Iranian military commander Brigadier General
Hossein Hamedani has been killed by the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on
the northern outskirts of the Syrian city of
Aleppo, Iran's army has said.
The rebels killed Hamedani overnight on
Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps (IRGC) - the elite branch of the Iranian
army - said in a statement carried by Sepah
News on Friday.
The Brigadier General was providing military
advice to the Syrian army in the country, Iran's
Press TV reported.
IRGC said in its statement that Hamedani had
been playing an "important role... reinforcing
the front of Islamic resistance against the
terrorists".
Iran is a staunch ally of President Bashar al-
Assad, sending Revolutionary
Guard forces and military advisers to aid him
against rebels seeking his
overthrow.
