Syrian news agency *SANA* reported on Saturday that Israeli aggression
targeted a residential building in the al-Mazzeh neighborhood in the Syrian
capital, Damascus.

In turn, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent in Damascus said that the aggression
led to the complete collapse of the building.

Sources reported that the three-story building in Damascus houses members
of the Iranian Revolution's Guard.

*UPDATE: *The IRGC announced in a statement that five Iranian military
advisors were killed in the Israeli aggression on Damascus. Iranian media
reported that the IRGC's intelligence advisor in Syria and his assistant
were killed in the attack.

The IRGC named its martyred advisors as Hojjatollah Omidvar, Ali Aqazadeh,
Hossein Mohammadi, Saeed Karimi, and Mohammad Amin Samadi.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's representative in Syria, Ismail Al-Sindawi
said, "All PIJ leaders in Damascus are fine, and the aggression has not
affected any of the movement's offices."

Last month, Senior Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Seyyed
Razi Mousavi was martyred in an Israeli airstrike

three missiles at his location in the suburbs of Damascus.
