The announcement also includes the date for funeral services on Saturday September 2 in Tehran.
Mohsen Hojaji, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) soldier dispatched to Syria as part of an advisory support team, was reportedly taken hostage by ISIL near Syria's border with Iraq on August 7 and was beheaded two days later. The video of his capture shared by ISIL went viral on the internet, prompting many Iranian officials to voice stronger resolve for eradicating ISIL terrorists from the region.
