Two members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards were killed in an attack by Israeli forces in Syria on Saturday.

The two soldiers were serving in Syria as "military advisors," the statement added.
Syrian state news agency SANA reported that Israeli warplanes attacked an area near Syria's capital early Saturday.
