Israeli airstrike in Damascus kills top Iranian general - report
Jerusalem Post ^ | 4/1/2024 | Staff

Posted on 04/01/2024 9:30:03 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

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.

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.

...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.
