Iran confirmed that a general of its elite Revolutionary Guards died in an Israeli strike on Syria that also killed six members of Lebanese group Hezbollah along with at least 6 other Guards members.
“General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi and a number of fighters and Islamic Resistance (Hezbollah) forces were attacked by the Zionist regime’s helicopters,” said a statement on the Guards’ website.
“This brave general and some members of Hezbollah were martyred,” it said. The sone of a senior Hezbollah commander also died in the attack.
However, the Iranian general killed in an Israeli air strike in Syria was not its intended target and Israel believed it was attacking only low-ranking guerrillas, a senior Israeli security source told the international news agency Reuters earlier today.
The source declined to be identified because Israel will not confirm or deny whether it carried out the strike. However it further stated that Israel is expecting a counter attack.
