An apparent airstrike in Damascus on Monday killed Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Iranian state television has confirmed. Iranian press reported that Zahedi was meeting with leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad at the time of the strike, but these reports could not be independently verified.
Zahedi commanded the Quds Force's Unit 18000, responsible, among other things, for smuggling ammunition and precision weapons into Lebanon. He had also commanded the IRGC's Air Force and Imam Hussein Division in the past.
Initial reports indicate that at least six people were killed in the strike, which targeted a building adjacent to the Iranian embassy.
The Iranian Embassy in Lebanon responded with fury to the alleged strike, saying: "This barbaric Israeli aggression is a flagrant violation of international laws, diplomatic norms, and the requirements of the Vienna Convention."
Some reports indicated that the building targeted served as the residence for the Iranian ambassador in Damascus.

Wow, for prophecy watchers. Just wow.
Nice shooting, IDF.
L
It sure looks like Damascus is coming into crosshair focus.
Persia, Philistines and Moabites and a few Assyrians to boot...................................
Essplain.
Outstanding.
Obama / Jarrett / Malley / Biden etc. all deeply saddened.
Sadly, the Iranians need to leave Syria
Israel needs to keep escalating
This will force hazboulla to make some dire decisions , Israel has the weopons to address any retaliatory action from these scum
It’s the only solution to end these terrorists
Someday, that will be an Israeli nuke.
Biden will not be happy but yet another apparently very lucky shot by the Isralies. Very lucky!
Embassies are supposed to enjoy diplomatic immunity not that Israel seems to care about International Law. Israeli officials in embassies around the world will now be forced to limit their movements in the general public as they are the most likely targets of revenge strikes. This greatly raises the stakes for a regional war something Netanyahu seems intent on.
Look up Isaiah 17:1
...Said to be the consulate.
That said, it's not as if the Iranians or Iranian backed terrorists have in the past had qualms about attacking embassies.
“...Said to be the consulate.”
That said, the ‘consulate’ could be just any structure next to it, or anywhere.
Dam good shootin’ anyways.
