#UPDATE
A number of reports are indicating similar casualties numbers following last night's Israeli missile strikes on Syria:
-2 Hezbollah fighters killed
-3 Iranians killed#Iran's IRGC denies any of its sites being hit.
My take:
The mullahs were hit. And hit hard.— Heshmat Alavi (@HeshmatAlavi) August 25, 2019
Thanks for the update.

BREAKING: We just prevented a pending, large-scale attack of multiple killer drones on Israel by striking Iranian Quds Force operatives and Shiite Militia targets in Syria.
TO: Iranian Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani,
RE: Last Night
“We will carry out a large-scale attack of killer drones on the ‘Zionist entity’ from Syria.”
It sounded good in your morning meeting, didn’t it?
Soleimani commanded an attack of killer drones on Israel. Iranian Quds operatives flew to the Damascus Intl. Airport with drones & explosives, and continued to an Iranian base in Syria to prepare for an attack on Israel.
An attack that never happened.
We attacked their base:
