On March 31, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that one of its advisors in Syria was killed in the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the outskirts of Damascus city in the early morning.
“At dawn today, Friday, Milad Heydari, one of the IRGC’s military advisors in Syria, was martyred in a criminal attack by the Zionist regime near Damascus,” the IRGC said in a statement carried by state media.
The guards vowed to retaliate for Heydari’s death, saying: “Undoubtedly, the fake and criminal Zionist regime will receive a response for this crime.”
Citing a military source, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported just after midnight that Israeli warplanes launched “salvos of missiles” at a position near Damascus from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights. Initially, no casualties were reported.
This was the second Israel attack to target Damascus in less than 24 hours. Early on March 30, a series of airstrikes hit positions in the capital, wounding two soldiers and causing material damage.
The IRGC maintains a fairly large presence in Syria to advise and assist government forces. Last November, an officer of the guards’ aerospace forces, Colonel Davood Jafari, was killed by a roadside bomb near Damascus. Back then, Tehran blamed the Israeli intelligence for the assassination.
Iran will not likely let the killing of another one of its advisors in Syria go without a response. This could lead to a serious confrontation with Israel.
The day of beginning of the end of zionist nazi regime have come. Time to write new book of exodus.
Iran ain’t gonna do shit. Nato and Israel killed it’s top general and nothing really happened.
They need to take out a top Israeli or nato military official. They won’t though. Not anytime soon anyway.
💩 Pootin will not allow it. His good is chickenshit Satanyahoo
You are a bit correct
So you moron haven’t seen Iranian retaliation on USA last week? Do you treally believe USA would admit that its commanders died because of Iran’s attack? This week 9 US soldiers died of “helicopter crash” and 6 soldiers with traumatic brain injuries because of the attack. War is going on.
Hey man.are u idiot.? Cant you see that usa never says their dead men numbers. But always dead american soldiers more and more.
Iran needs to stop talking and promising against the zio terrorist Jew scum, like Pootin who worship the Jews and allowed them to kill his allies and even his own soldiers. Send a few missiles at their nujes sites. If they retaliate, flatten them with thousands of missiles before they know what’s happening
Israel has continuously attacked Shia Muslims during the Holy Month of Ramadan. So Shia Muslims must retaliate accordingly.
No shia or any OTHER. THERE ARE ONLY MUSLIMS. Those divisons are made up by mi6 to devide and conquer.
Bring Bavar-373.
Jesus Christ Iran….how much more pushing are you going to let go?
