Iranian state media identified the commander as Razi Mousavi, a senior adviser of the IRGC Quds Force, saying he had been killed in an air strike near the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The agency reported that Mousavi was seriously injured and killed in an Israeli Air Force raid on the outskirts of Damascus.
The agency added that Mousavi is one of the oldest advisors to the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and one of those close to General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the United States at Baghdad Airport in Iraq.
There was no news about the number of deaths and injuries as a result of the aforementioned attack.
Israel launches raids from time to time on various areas in Syria, and Tel Aviv says that its attacks are directed against the Iranian presence there.
