We have seen no reports on this issue other than those in the media. We have seen numerous media reports that a senior Iranian military commander was killed in the Syrian Golan Heights area and that there have been recent Syrian army regime offensives in the area, that, according to media reports, are backed by Hizballah and Iran.
