General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi was killed during an Israeli strike on the Syrian sector of the Golan Heights on Sunday.
“Following the Zionist aggressions against the resistance in Syria, General Mohammad Allahdadi, a former commander of the Sarollah Brigade of the Revolutionary Guard, was martyred along with Jihad Moughniyah and three others in the same car,” the Dana news website said.
The Israeli strike also killed the son of a slain top Hezbollah commander.
