Iranian-Affiliated Commander Killed In Drone Strike Near Syrian-Iraqi Border: Monitoring Group

An Iranian-affiliated commander was killed as a result of a drone strike on the eastern Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on April 29.

The strike targeted a house and military vehicle in the town of al-Sayyal, which is located around 20 km to the north of the al-Bukamal border crossing with Iraq.

“The attack resulted in the death of a commander of a non-Syrian nationality and the injury of five militiamen,” the SOHR’s report reads.

According to the London-based monitoring group, the slain commander was serving in the ranks of “Liwa Fatemiyoun,” an Afghan group formed in 2014.

Liwa Fatemiyoun is funded, trained, and equipped by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Today, the group is mainly active in Syria’s central and eastern regions. 10,000 to 20,000 fighters are reportedly in service with this Afghan group.

The SOHR’s claims are yet to be confirmed by an independent source. Locals and pro-government sources didn’t report any strike on Deir Ezzor on April 29th, or in the few days before.

These claims may be nothing but a propaganda stunt meant to exaggerate Iran’s role in Deir Ezzor as well as to present a distorted image of the situation in the government-held part of the governorate. Nevertheless, it is important to note that both Israel and the US have targeted Iranian forces in Deir Ezzor in the past.

Another unlucky shepherd, and his sheep kidnapped and raped by the moderate rebels of the Isis.

Next week Bibi is gone. I hope all of you can read this message. We are going to F your Islamic Jihadists under a new leadership, be it Afghans, Hamas, Hezbollah or Iranians. For a start, Hamas will be the main target, Hezbollah should watch closely how we are going to slaughter them, because they are next.

Kitosan My

finish the war you ZIonist fools started with Lebanon first… your IDF idiots cannot even defeat a 5000 strong hizbollah warriors with your 50,000 armies in the summers war .. better keep your mouth under the HIzbollah slippers … and stop crying, go fix your Iron dome … as even a cheap missle built in 1960’s can cross 300 km and land near your Natanz Nuke facility .. you think you are safe in occupied palestinian lands … think again …

watch DOZENS of MERKOVA tanks turned into burning Coffins …

Say thanks the traitor has protected you for a long time, get ready we are going to fix it now. Think you can win? no problem prove it in the battlefield. But don’t cry when you get to taste our true power.

Selbstdenker

Never thought about, that the first rockets will destroy the water pipes from the golan heights and the power transformer stations? How long will you last then? 5 days, or would you make it 10 days?

Faisal al Al-Mahdi of Iraq

and the occupation state, israel the abomination of desolation shall taste the power of God (swt). This time is different as God has guaranteed victory for his believers and with his intervention, zionism and its counterpart wahabism are to end. All praise to God, the humans do plot but God is the best of planners

<>

God is above us all, and that is the only point I agree with you.

tzatz

BS … there is no God … he ain’t listening to you and the only guarantee is death … this all there is

You sound like a Sith Lord. Darth Zion.

Emad Irani

u can’t even build a stable bridge Hasbara. Hezbollah is your neighbor for 40 years and you can’t do a shit :) not before Bibi, not with him and not after him

<>

So you have nothing to worry about Emad.

Emad Irani

no I don’t because barking dogs don’t bite. Like I said, if you could do something you would do it 20 years ago, not now anymore

<>

I don’t think you understand Emad, or you just don’t know how it works here. No matter who is the DM, in the end when it comes to starting a war there is only one guy who decided – the PM. Bibi is a coward, you think we Israelis are scared of you or you proxies? lol you’ve got us all wrong. Just watch the show, remember the names Bennet and Lapid.

Emad Irani

dude there are strategists who analyze the situation and the outcome of that and deep state decision makers. How many different PMs did you have in the last 43 years? How many US presidents changed? How many wars took place in the region? No country can attack Iran because they know about non-public Iranian missile and nuke capability. You are just another trash which they will use and throw away. You are not a strategist nor a you have enough know-how about the stuff :) I am watching your show for 20 years, only barking. Soon Iran will have an IRGC president and he announced already 93% enrichment. You are doomed

<>

I am not a prohpet Emad, just an IDF reservist with alot of heart. I don’t call the shots even though I wish I could have changed our policy, just follow the orders. Again, if you are so strong then tiny weak Israel is not a problem for you, so relax.

Emad Irani

I said it, a trash for the decision makers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TkKm2eEV1A

I didn’t said which country is strong or weak, I am a rationalist, because of my education and my know-how I analyze simple things and come to a conclusion. And this is: No country will/can start a war against Iran, the times of “Regime Changes” are over and Israel is not anymore the only power in the region, very simple.

Look at the geopolitical progress and advance of every country in the region Iran, Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia, you will realize what I am saying…

<>

His case is a famous one, and every soldier including reservists like me know that the army doesn’t treat PTSD soldiers. So most of us don’t try to fight the system, we follow the orders even if it means we will die during combat because that is what brought us to be fighters in the first place – the will to give to the country we love. The army is working to change that policy, now after another soldier ignited himself.

It’s guys like us that keep this country alive, not the dirty F politicians and I don’t fight for them. I fight so Israeli kids won’t live under mortars and rockets attacks, and I will support any politician who gives us the greenlight to end those Jihadists once and for all. I admit I myself have sometimes bad dreams, as it come and go. But I swore to myself, I will make them pay for every Isreali they have killed and you know what is my strongest motive? HATE.

WE WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT.

Emad Irani

hahaha calm down rambo, we don’t kill children like you. We don’t care about civilian although in a fake country like Israhell that 40-45% of the entire adult population is either active military personnel or on reserve (750000 ppl) AND the rest are ex-military (above 40 years old) there is nothing called “civilian”… If you forcefully enter other people’s homes, take whatever they have then kick them out and kill them, you’re not a “civilian”. But again we don’t care about these. We have precision guided weapons that can hit sensitive targets and regions, we don’t have to bomb an entire city. If you cross the lines, there will be more fire. At the end, if you die no one will even remember you except your own family. Sad story but true. “The F politicians” you mentioned have control and power, if they feel threat they will throw you away.

Soon you all have to go back to your real roots

The Objective

“hahaha calm down rambo, we don’t kill children like you. We don’t care about civilian ” I wish what you said were true. Unfortunately, Shiites are the biggest bullies of defenseless civilians. I’m sure if you were to quit bullying civilians, you’ll develop some bravery to make America pay for killing several dozens of your men in Iraq and Syria since 2019.

Emad Irani

empty talks, I know it hurts after losing Syria and Iraq. But I think US bases are bombed every week with rockets, suicide drones and mortals… You think Iran is Turkey after Mavi Marvara incident to forget the story? US will be kicked out of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and you can imagine what is the next

The Objective

I admire your motivation and dedication to serving your country. If most of the Israeli soldiers have your kind of motivation, then I have no doubt you’ll win against the Shiites. Throughout history, they talk more than they can do, but when push comes to shove you’ll notice their cowardice. Imagine what would have happened if America had killed a Taliban general and Taliban had half of Iran’s missile. Believe me the whole region would be ignited and the U.S will find itself in an intense bloody fight for the first few months at least. The U.S has been bombing these Shiite militias in Iraq with almost zero consequences to American forces despite U.S forces deployed within range of the militias’ missiles. Biden recently killed dozens of them and not a single U.S soldier died as a result. I don’t see how they are gonna. seems like they fear death. I mean, this is beyond cowardice. Your lives get wasted with no consequences? You don’t wanna die and you want to defeat the U.S? Learn from the Taliban and the Turks who fought in Galipoli. If you guys can quit oppressing civilians, I’m sure you’ll develop some bravery and willingness to retaliate for your dead. From my experience, soldiers who bully civilians are always cowards. Heroes don’t bully the weak.

<>

Exactly Obejctive,and I disregard all the claims here as if we kill civlians on purpose. Mistakes happen during a war, but in no way me or my friends to service used our weapons to hurt innocent people in Gaza. The same as I am against Hamas killing innocent Israelis, I am against it from our side aswell. Those Shias will eventually feel our true power, we still have an unfinished business from 2006. As for me, been in active service during both 2006 and 2008 conflicts, and as a reservist in 2014. Been in the front each time, and I would do it again if it protects my people. I also stated it here before, in my view Israel, Turkey Egypt, UAE and KSA should all work together.

tzatz

Kol ha Kavod … the TRUTH

The Objective

Your claim that no country would start a war with Iran might have convinced me but for two reasons: 1) Iran doesn’t dare go nuclear openly 2) Iran is negotiating another JCPOA despite losing hundreds of billions to unjustified sanctions, and the killing of Soleimani. Remember this happened at a time Iran was largely in compliance of the deal.

These are not the actions of a country which feels confident it’s beyond attack. These are the actions a country which feels vulnerable and is employing both restraint and diplomatic opportunities to ward off and an attack.

Imagine what North Korea or Russia would have done in Iran’s place. They’ll avenge the death of their General by killing a U.S general within days of that attack, and they would shred the nuclear deal the very day Trump pulled out. Iran obviously won’t dare such steps because it’s still not strong enough to fully deter a U.S attack.

Emad Irani

First of all there is not another JCPOA, all negotiations are about the JCPOA from 2015, nothing more. Beside that JCPOA is limited to the country’s nuclear agency, IRGC has its own Nuclear Program working together with North Korea. Iran doesn’t need to go openly for it as long as no country dares to attack Iran.

Killing of Soleimani or another person doesn’t have any influence on Irans path wherever it is. This is because of IRGCs very deep and complex structure. Iranian enemy attacks are only limited to sabotage or assassinating, not open war like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen and etc…

In 2017 about 100 Russian combat soldiers got killed by US air strikes in Deir ez Zour, a high ranking Russian commander (Valery Asapov) was mysteriously killed by “ISIS” (there are needs for intelligence and information)… and Russia did nothing, not what you claimed

Last time I said already to you, if you don’t have any clue about military/policy stuff don’t talk about it

tzatz

Rational EXCEPT the Mullah / IRGC Revolutionary Regime isn’t that rational …

Iran has become a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP … the Mullah leader will be replaced by an IRGC appointee … and revolution is on their mind … building a World of Shiite Islam is the goal … don’t laugh they could topple the Arabs and then Israel if left alone …

Rafik Chauhan

your grave is ready so try and start war . you cannot fight alone

<>

We will end up in the grave Rafik, I will just make sure to send your terrorsitic animals there first.

Ricky Miller

If you are really an IDF reservist you wouldn’t be permitted to comment about Israeli foreign policy here. Poser.

The Objective

Presidents don’t make the real decisions in Iran. Iran’s goals is to win without fighting. all the war preparations has two important purposes: to deter war and regime survival in case of war. Iran is not looking to bomb Israel any day. All the rhetoric is aimed at gaining the approval of Sunni Muslims around the world and positioning Iran as leader of the Islamic world. But this deception failed and Erdogan and Turkey took that position instead. We now take Iran’s threats and hot air for what it is: hot air. After the muted response to Soleimani’s killing, their is no repairing of the damage to Iran’s prestige anytime soon. The idea is for Iran to get conventionally very strong to the point that no one would attack it for any reason. then Iran will publicly build nukes and no one dares to attack. Unfortunately, the mullahs let their mouths and temper get the better of them and they overblew their threats. Now America and Israel will never take their sights off Iran and will continue covert efforts to overthrow the regime regardless of a nuclear deal.

Emad Irani

Times of Regime Changes are over, not even Syria was accomplished. US knows about hidden Nuke capability as I said Iran has 2 different Nuke programs. Iran doesn’t care about Sunni countries because they are the last problem, they couldn’t even finish Yemen, only a bunch of loosers and Western puppets.

Is Irans missile program public? IRGC no, Space Agency yes. Is Irans nuke program public? Again IRGC no, government owned Nuclear agency yes.

There are IRGC elites for decision making but you will never learn that, just like you didn’t learned about the fail in Syria. False calculation are in favor of Iran, remember that. Changing sides like Turkey and Saudi Satania are doing is the same Saddam and Gaddafi did

Free man

Two days ago, after the Russian visit to Israel, I wrote:: “I wonder what Iranian targets will be bombed in the coming days in Syria.” For such bombing you need extremely accurate intelligence.

chris chuba

Serious question, how was this man a threat to Israel? ISIS is resurging in this exact place in Syria where Israel assassinated him. The SOHR (no friend of Assad) claims that ISIS has killed over 1,000 ‘Regime and Iranian backed fighters in the past 2yrs’ https://www.syriahr.com/en/198297/ This guy was from Afghanistan, he doesn’t give a flip about Israel, all he cares about is fighting ISIS and then going back home. Do you think he and his forces are going to storm the Golan Heights and then flood into the Jordon valley or something. You are kicking Syria in the teeth when they are down.

<>

They published a video 2 or 3 years ago when they came closer to the Golan area, saying when the time comes they will try to invade Israeli posts and kill Israelis. Yeah, the same Afghans you said that don’t care about Israel. I don’t know where to find it, SF even published it here.

Rhodium 10

Hamas launch rockets along many years and Israel cannot avoid it!….yesterday 44 Zionist killed themselves..

Ricky Miller

Hezbollah has tens of thousands of missiles with your names on them. At least the names of Israeli military bases and garrison towns. I’m not engaging in hyperbole by saying tens of thousands.

Faisal al Al-Mahdi of Iraq

To the Blood thirsty people commenting wishing for war below. The second seal of Revelation is war, of which Christ (AS) says, And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, 1st seal is corona and its underway. Allah is intervening in humanity and has returned 313 prophets to Earth with Imam Mahid (AS), saviour of Earth. If Humanity turns to the prophets and seek peace, then Gods punishment will ease, it is the end of the satanic era, all praise to God. This is the end of zionism, satanism, capitalism, racism, slavery, mind control and other inflictions on humanity. wake up people. seek peace and repent. May God have mercy on the assasinated Volunteers, many whom join to do good in the world and resist the satanic forces of Zionism and America the anti christ

The Objective

This is your deviant and heretical Shiite concept. Your Mahdi is not the Muslim Mahdi the prophet foretold about. Your Mahdi increasingly resembles the Dajjal, because we see from authentic Hadiths that Dajjal is in occultation. Your Mahdi will not be born. He’s in occultation. Again, the Ahdiths warn us that the Dajjal will emerge from Khorasan in Iran. Looking at the Iranian regime and the current situation of Iran, these Ahadiths are becoming reality right in front of our eyes. It’s you who need to wake up and follow the true religion of Muhammad (S.A.W) otherwise you’ll oppose the true Mahdi when he emerges and follow the Dajjal after his emergence from occultation as he is going to look more like your Shiite mahdi than the true Mahdi.
