Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri made the remarks on Monday in relation to last nights' missile attack fired at ISIL terrorist group�s positions in the east of Syria by IRGC in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack in southern Iranian city of Ahvaz, which killed 24 and injured about 60 people.

�Based on the information we have received, there have been considerable casualties on ISIL and some of the commanders of the terrorist group have been killed,� Bagheri said.

The chief of general staff of Iranian armed forces said that information obtained by the Iranian intelligence sectors showed that the [ISIL] terrorist had relations with other anti-Islamic Revolution groups but ISIL directed the perpetrators behind Ahvaz attack from Deir-ez-Zor in eastern Syria.

He further said �what matters is that the Islamic Republic�s drones crossed one or two countries to reach the [ISIL-controlled] areas and conducted the operation successfully and the Islamic Republic�s missiles travelled long distances to reach their targets and landed on very small buildings and inflicted casualties.�

The Iranian top commander added that the targeted area is located in the east of Euphrates next to a US Army-controlled area.
