IRGC chief: Israel will pay price for killing of adviser
Major General Hossein Salami made the warning on Wednesday after Israel’s airstrikes on Aleppo claimed the lives of at least 17 people and injured 15 others in the wee hours of Monday, Press TV reported.
Among those killed was Saeed Abyar, an IRGC military advisor in Syria.
Salami said, “The child-killing Zionist criminals should know that they will pay for the innocent blood that was shed in this crime; they should wait for the response.”
The Israeli regime has carried out hundreds of attacks against Syria since 2011, when the Arab nation found itself in the grip of rampant foreign-backed militancy and terrorism.
The Iranian military advisors, who are present in Syria at the official invitation of the Syrian government, have played an important role in helping the Syrians fight terrorism and establish peace, stability, and lasting security in the Arab country.
Tel Aviv has significantly ramped up its strikes since last October, when it began a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, in what has been described by observers as a reckless bid threatening to further fuel tensions throughout the region.
Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
