Seven Syrian army fighters, including a senior commander involved in weapons development, were killed in Israeli airstrikes, Wednesday, rebel aligned Syrian media outlets reported Wednesday night.
According to the reports, the senior military official killed in the airstrikes was Ayham Ismail, who commanded a unit tasked with manufacturing electronic components for the Syrian army's missile system.
According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, four foreign nationals, apparently from Iran, were also killed in the attack.
A senior Syrian military official who defected during the country's civil war told the London-based pan-Arab Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper that Ismail was a chemist and engineer by profession. The official confirmed Ismail had been taken out in an attack on a military facility known as "Sector 1000."
While media outlets aligned with the Damascus regime denied the reports, regime supporters shared photos of the funerals for those killed in the strikes to social media.
On Wednesday, the Syrian state-owned SANA news outlet reported Israeli jets struck targets adjacent to Damascus. It noted Syria's aerial defense system was activated in the attack but did not mention any casualties inside Syria in its reporting.
