It’s being reported that Israel has killed a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander with a strike in Syria, presumably against Hezbollah targets.

Iran is fuming over the death of Sayyed Razi Mousavi, claiming he was an innocent victim or something. But given his rank of brigadier-general in the IRGC, he was undoubtedly heavily involved in these proxy wars against Israel and that’s likely why he was even in Syria.

Iran says there will definitely be a response to Mousavi’s death.

An Israeli air strike outside the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday killed a senior adviser in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, three security sources and Iranian state media said.

The sources told Reuters that the adviser, known as Sayyed Razi Mousavi, was responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran.

Iran’s state television interrupted its regular news broadcast to announce that Mousavi had been killed, describing him as one of the Guards’ oldest advisers in Syria.

It said he had been “among those accompanying Qassem Soleimani,” the head of the Guards’ elite Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone attack in Iraq in 2020.

The Revolutionary Guards said Israel would suffer for killing Mousavi, who held the Guards’ rank of brigadier-general.

“Undoubtedly, the usurper and savage Zionist regime will pay for this crime,” the Guards said in a statement read on state TV.

There was no immediate comment from Israel’s military.

Israel isn’t commenting on any of this and I’m sure that’s a matter of policy. But assuming this is true, good on them for taking this monster out.
