"NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Iran's Revolutionary Guards confirmed Monday to the BBC that an Iranian general was killed on Sunday during an Israeli airstrike in Golan Heights, a disputed region on the border of Syria and Israel.
"The general, Mohammad Ali Allahdadi, died alongside six Hezbollah fighters, according to the BBC. A statement from the news website of the Revolutionary Guards said the general was 'martyred while defending the shrines and innocent people of Syria.'
"Iran and Hezbollah have long admitted their involvement assisting forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"The motivation behind the attack remains unclear, according to the New York Times. Israeli news media, citing anonymous sources, has reported those killed had been planning an attack on Israel from Syria."
