STRIKE ON THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE

DEADLY STRIKE LEVELS BUILDING IN IRAN EMBASSY COMPOUND, KILLING Mohammad Reza Zahedi, IRGC Quds Force’s SYRIA-LEBANON CHIEF; deputy also reported killed; TEHRAN FM SAYS ISRAEL RESPONSIBLE


The Israeli Air Force allegedly carried out an airstrike on a building next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus on Monday, reportedly killing at least six people including the top Iranian commander in Syria.

The strike in the Damascus-area municipality of Mezzeh hit a building adjacent to the Iranian embassy, footage showed.

A Reuters report said a building in the embassy compund was “flattened,” in what it said was “a startling apparent escalation of conflict in the Middle East that would pit Israel against Iran and its allies.” Iran’s SSN news website said the targeted building was Iran’s consulate and ambassador’s residence.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency cited sources who indicated that at least six people were killed in the strike.

Among them was senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps official Mohammad Reza Zahedi, according to security sources speaking to Reuters and media reports in Iran.


Zahedi was a top commander in IRGC’s Quds Force, a US-designated terrorist organization.

He was reportedly responsible for the unit’s operations in Syria and Lebanon, for Iranian militias there, and for ties with Hezbollah, and thus the most senior commander of Iranian forces in the two countries. Israel’s Army Radio said Zahedi oversaw all Iranian terrorist operations against Israel from Syria, Lebanon “and the Palestinian sphere.”


His death was the most significant killing of an IRGC leader since the US assassinated Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad in January, 2020.

Tasnim reported that Zahedi’s deputy was also killed in the strike.

Reuters quoted Iran’s ambassador in Syria warning that Iran’s response to the strike would be harsh.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, meanwhile, said in a call with his Syrian counterpart that Tehran holds Israel responsible for the consequences of the attack, Iran’s state media reported.

Footage from the scene showed that the targeted building had been destroyed in the strike. Next to the rubble, an Iranian flag was seen flying over the Iranian embassy.

Syria’s state-run SANA broadcaster claimed air defense systems had engaged the alleged Israeli attack, downing some of the missiles.


While Israel does not, as a rule, comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed terror groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade. The Israeli military says it attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Hezbollah. Additionally, airstrikes attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.

Faced with ongoing attacks by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group and Shiite militias throughout the Middle East in the wake of Hamas’s brutal October 7 massacre, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza, Israel has escalated its strikes on Iran-linked terror targets in Syria, killing numerous IRGC operatives, as well as members of Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy groups.

Monday’s strike came hours after a drone launched by an Iran-backed militia in Iraq struck an Israeli Navy base in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat, causing damage to a hangar.

Meanwhile, shortly after the Damascus strike, the Israeli military announced that IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi approved new operational plans at the Northern Command headquarters in Safed earlier in the day.

The plans “for the continuation of the fighting” were approved during an assessment held by Halevi, the commander of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and members of the General Staff, the IDF added.

The Covenant GOD Swore with ISRAEL is Real

This is the most courageous Israeli strike in Damascus EVER!

This is a Clear Message to the Head of the Snake.
This is not another proxy attack or a close attack. This is an attack against the most significant symbol - an embassy.

Whoever attacked from the air the building next to the Iranian embassy in Damascus (which also belongs to the embassy) is Sending send a clear message to Tehran.

Intresting times are staring us in face as Bible Prophecies are firing up for Fufillment.

The remains of the Iranian ambassador’s residence in Damascus

The amazing thing is that neither the Iranian embassy itself nor the neighboring embassies such as the Canadian one were damaged.

The attack was super surgical targeting the consular annex which was a cover for a military base of IRGC commanders, thus all killed were the people who were busy plotting against Israel!

The thug of Israel is a drowning man.

It's almost six months into the war with small Hamas with almost nothing to show except the murder of kids and the sick.

Unprecedented international isolated and rising jew-hate around the world.

Huge idf losses in Gaza.

Massive weekly protests calling for the head of the thug in Tel Aviv.

Serious internal crises with his top military officers.

Now the thug is desperate and wants to divert attention and drag in the United Snakes by a cowardly attack on the Iranian embassy.

Iran?
I dey laugh.

The thug is dragging Israel to its last days.

The simultaneous way the Israeli defence force and the intelligence unit work.

Those guys are beast mode.

Sometimes until nations face certain level of external attack they will not develop.

Israel went beyond religion and focused on science and tech which is what most Islamic nations lack.
If religion is a reason to develop tech or science you will never go far.
That is is case of middle eastern arabs.

They are so filled up with religion that certain milestone are prohibited because it is not in line with the religion.

See Chinese
Jews
Americans
Indians
These people have seen beyond religion

But Africa minus white SAfricans are still after religion.

Lol.
Don't play
Or you will learn
