The Gulf News Agency Al-Arabiya has claimed that according to Iraqi sources, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Muslim Shahidan, has been targeted by a drone on the border of Iraq and Syria.
Al-Arabiya says Iraqi sources have confirmed that the Iranian commander was targeted Sunday night in the al-Qaim border area with Syria.

The attack killed Commander Muslim Shahidan as well as two pro-Iranian militia fighters. On the other hand, the Lebanese news channel Al-Ma'idin has denied the news from its sources.
