Palestinian Islamic Jihad chief Ziyad al-Nakhalah fled Syria a few weeks ago, Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported on Sunday.
Nakhalah reportedly escaped to Tehran, fearing Israeli elimination.
Nakhalah's deputy, Akram al-Ajouri, was also reported to have left Syria, retreating with the terror group's top military brass to Iraq.
According to KAN, the terror group operated in Syria under the auspices of Assad's regime.
In the early hours of Sunday, the Syrian military's command informed officers that former president Bashar al-Assad's regime had ended, with Syrian rebels announcing Damascus had been freed.
