IRGC vows revenge after Israeli strike kills officer in Syria
A senior officer of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps has been killed in an Israeli “missile strike” in a suburb of the Syrian capital, Damascus, the IRGC said in a statement on Monday.
Seyyed Razi Mousavi, a veteran brigadier general who was serving as a military adviser in Syria, was one of the close companions of the assassinated Iranian commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, Tasnim News Agency reported. “The usurping, savage Israeli regime would undoubtedly pay for this crime,” the IRGC statement read.
On December 2, 2023, two IRGC brigadier generals, named Mohammed-Ali Ataei and Panah Taghizadeh, were killed after Israel bombed the same Sayyidah Zaynab neighborhood of Damascus.
