TWO Iranian Revolutionary Guards members have been reportedly killed during an Israeli attack in Syria, Iran’s state media has claimed.
The deaths would be the first Iranian casualties of the war between Israel and Hamas, fuelling fears of an all-out war in the Middle East.

“Mohammed Ali Ataei Shoorcheh and Panah Taghizadeh… were martyred by the Zionist usurper enemy while conducting an advisory mission in the Syrian Islamic resistance front,” the Guards’ Sepah News website said.
A statement did not give details of the attack but stated that both members served as military advisers and were working in Syria.
Israel appeared to be targeting Hezbollah with strikes earlier today, according to a war monitor.
Syria earlier today said its air defences had repelled an Israeli rocket attack against targets near capital Damascus.
“Two Syrian fighters working for Hezbollah and two foreign, pro-Iran fighters were killed in Israeli air strikes on Hezbollah sites near Sayyida Zeinab”, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
It comes after Hezbollah’s terror chief issued a chilling warning to Israel fuelling fears of an all-out-war in his first public address since the October 7 massacre.
The Iran-backed militia leader Hassan Nasrallah said “all options are open” amid the brutal ongoing conflict as Israel’s PM Netanyahu hit back.
The Hezbollah chief, 63, praised the Hamas October 7 attack and branded it a “sacred operation” that was “100% Palestinian.”
He warned that the battle has extended to “more than one front”.
The terror chief said the deadly attacks a month ago led to an “earthquake” in Israel and exposed the country’s weakness.
