DUBAI (Reuters) -An Iranian Revolutionary Guards adviser in Damascus was killed on Friday in an Israeli missile strike that targeted a southern district of the Syrian capital, semi-official Iranian news sites reported.

Earlier, Syria's state news agency SANA, citing a Syrian military source, said the country's military had downed a number of Israeli missiles launched from the Golan Heights at southern Damascus.

The Iranian news sites identified the dead man as Saeid Alidadi. They did not give his rank.

Asked about the strikes, Israel's military said it did not comment on reports in foreign media.
