Hezbollah condemns ‘brazen’ killing of senior Iran Revolutionary Guards officer in Syria
Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah condemns the “blatant and brazen attack” today in Damascus in which a senior officer in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed in an alleged Israeli strike.
Brig. Gen. Razi Mousavi was killed in the strike earlier in the Damascus suburb of Sayeda Zeinab, Iran has confirmed.
Hezbollah says the attack “crosses all limits.”
Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi vowed that Israel “will certainly pay for this crime.”
There has been no comment from Israel on the strike.
