Three years ago, Israel came close to assassinating Soleimani near Damascus, al-Jarida quoted unnamed source as saying, but the Americans tipped off the Iranians against the background of intense disagreement between Washington and Jerusalem.

Three years ago? Who was president then?!

I can’t imagine Israel waiting for permission from any other nation to take action. It’s not really their style.

This was purposely put out by US Intelligence or leaked by an unfriendly source.

Either way, this guy must be eliminated as well as the leader of Hezbollah.
