All the leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Syria and Lebanon were killed in the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, as revealed this Saturday by the Bloomberg television network. who also noted that they were “senior officers, fundamental to Hezbollah’s activities in the region.””.
Two names stand out in the reports among the members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard killed that day -General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy, Mohammad Hadi Rahimi- while data from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights at that time had mentioned Reza Zahedi, regional head of the Quds Force.
Both Rahimi and Zahedi, Bloomberg added, were in the consulate building, next to the embassy, as they considered it to be the “safest” place in the entire Syrian capital.
Even, shortly before the bombing, the move of the residence of the Ambassador and the Consul to a complex on the same block, where two of the brothers of the Syrian dictator Bashar Al Assad also live, had been discussed, although after a meeting with members of The Guard concluded that it would not be necessary.
The bombing of the diplomatic headquarters in the Mazeh neighborhood occurred amid the tensions that Israel maintains with pro-Iranian terrorist groups in the Middle East that, daily, launch attacks against their country in support of the war of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. However, the offensive was never claimed by Tel Aviv, which maintained silence at all times.
Images from that day showed the building reduced to rubble and smoke rising from the site, to which the Persian regime promised significant revenge, which did not take long to arrive. On April 13, the Defense Forces confirmed at night that “dozens of drones” had been launched from various points in Iran and were heading towards its territory. It was the regime’s first direct attack on the Jewish State.
All of our own and allied security systems were immediately activated, which made it possible to contain this episode and prevent it from becoming a more “serious and dangerous” escalation. Of the total of 300 drones and ballistic and cruise missiles, Israel managed to intercept 99 percent, resulting in minor damage to a military base in the south and minor injuries to a Palestinian girl.
