An IDF airstrike has killed a top Iranian general. The IDF targeted a building near the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
The airstrike killed General Mohammad Reza Zahedi who was the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Lebanon and Syria.
Five other officials were killed in the attack, including General Mehdi Rahimi, according to Iranian media.
The Iranian Ambassador to Syria is quoted as saying, “The Zionist regime has acted against international laws, which will result in our decisive response.”
Editors note: It’s always attractive when a government that backs terrorist organizations who seek the destruction of Jewish and Western peoples claims Israel violated international law. When the United States, under then President Donald Trump, killed Qasem Soleimani, Iran also claimed a violation of international law. However, state-sponsored terrorism is acceptable to Iran, jihadists, and their sympathizers.
