ISIL kills top Iranian commander in Syria

Iranian military says Brigadier General Hossein Hamadani was killed by the rebels near Aleppo overnight.

An Iranian Revolutionary Guards general has been killed near Aleppo, where he was advising the Syrian army on their battle against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters, the guards said in a statement.

The Guards on Friday said General Hossein Hamadani was killed on Thursday night and that he had "played an important role ... reinforcing the front of Islamic resistance against the terrorists".

Iran is the main regional ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and has provided military and economic support during Syria's four-year-old civil war.

Iran denies having any military forces in Syria, but says it has offered "military advice" to Assad's forces in their fight against "terrorist groups".

Hamadani was a veteran of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war and was made deputy chief commander of the elite forces in 2005.

'Iranian troops in Syria'

In the biggest deployment of Iranian forces yet, Reuters news agency reported last week that hundreds of troops had arrived since late September to take part in a major ground offensive planned in west and northwest Syria.

Iranian politician Esmail Kosari said Hamadani helped coordination between Syrian armed forces and the voluntary forces in their fight against ISIL.

"For years, Hamadani played a very important role in Syria as an adviser ... he played an important role in preventing the fall of Damascus. Then he returned home at the end of his assignment," Kosari told the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

"He returned to Syria for a few days because of his deep knowledge about the area ... and he was martyred in Syria."

Assad's longtime ally, Russia launched its air campaign in September, saying it would also target ISIL. But its planes have also hit other rebel groups opposed to Assad, including groups backed by Washington.

The United States and its allies have been waging a year-long air campaign against ISIL in Syria, while pushing to diplomatically edge Assad from power.

Washington has ruled out military cooperation with Russia in Syria, accusing Moscow of pursuing a "tragically flawed" strategy that would force it to limit military talks to basic pilot safety.

What is Iran doing that it can't even protect its star generals? Why was this guy even remotely close to being in danger?

You need people like him to strategize from behind the scenes, not go to front lines and do the fighting.

Even Pak has lost Generals in WoT.... Including one in FATA... Maj Gen Naizi Shaheed -- his vehicle (unfortunate incident) hit an IED.. When he was visiting troops on the front...

An army whose officers lead from the front is a good one... Even the causality ratio (PA) Officer : soldier is evident of the fact that our officers lead from the front!
