A brigadier general in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was among those killed in Israeli strikes on a headquarters of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, according to Iranian media reports.

Multiple Iranian news outlets reported on Saturday that Brigadier General Abbas Nilforushan, the deputy head of operations of the IRGC, suffered martyrdom alongside Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that Nasrallah and senior Hezbollah commanders were killed on Friday in airstrikes on a compound located beneath residential buildings in a suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
