Iran’s Tasnim news agency says sources have indicated that at least six people were killed in the alleged Israeli strike on a building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus.

It says the number is not yet officially confirmed.

According to other Iranian media, the targeted building was Iran’s consulate and ambassador’s residence.

Iranian general reportedly killed in Israeli air strike

Commander of the Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria, Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Zahedi, was killed as a result of an Israeli strike on Damascus, a Sputnik correspondent has reported.

The Quds Force is a part of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) specializing in unconventional warfare and military intelligence operations. The force distinguished itself in the fight against terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria.

You do realize the Iranians have missiles that can hit any spot in Israel AND the Iron Dome is useless against many of them.

True, and not a reason to bend over and take it from Iran’s Hezbollah permanently and without retaliation.

Someone in the Iranian chain of command has to give the order to launch those missiles, but the IDF has just demonstrated that they will strike command level personnel wherever they might be found. I suspect that this was part of Israel’s calculation in assessing the odds of a counterstrike.

Any dead Quds savage is a good dead Quds savage. Let them know they’re not safe anywhere anytime.

Purposely targeting a consulate is a crime and casus belli.

The question is whether the citizens of Israel, innocent and not, are prepared for the next round of retaliation? I know you pooh pooh the danger of Hezbollah, I fear you underestimate their ability to harm Israel proper and the IDF.

They know, just as the Ukes know the Patriots are useless against their Patriot killing hypersonics. The Iranians have hypersonics.

Not disputing what you wrote, but didn’t we bomb the Chinese embassy in Belgrade?

I’m quite up to speed on Hezbollah. And, as you know, I’m going to Israel to volunteer for the IDF on base. I know that Hezbollah has aimable rockets (unlike ham ass’s terror-only-unaimed-rockets), and I’ll put myself in their way. Israelis also understand this.

Hezbollah, among its many war crimes, continues to violate UN Resolution 1701 which they agreed to, by militarizing Southern Lebanon. This is unacceptable. Israel cannot continue to live with a loaded gun to its head. Israel must, can, will and is going to defend itself against Iran’s catspaw Hezbollah.

Get some!
