Iranian Revolutionary Guard General Killed in Israeli Attack in Syria

"Dream – An Israeli airstrike on the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Monday, December 25, 2023, killed the military advisor of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Sayyed Razi Mousavi."

"Mousavi is one of the top commanders of the IRGC in Syria. He is responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran, which is an important part of Iran's network of regional allies and proxies known as the 'Axis of Resistance'."

The official Iranian news agency, IRNA, quoted by Al Jazeera, reported that Mousavi “was killed in an attack by the Zionist regime a few hours ago in the Zeinabiyah district on the outskirts of Damascus.”

"According to Al Jazeera, IRNA referred to Mousavi as Sayyida Zeinab. In an Iranian television broadcast, the Revolutionary Guard stated that “the Zionist regime that usurps power and is barbaric will pay for this crime.” Iranian state television interrupted its regular news broadcast to announce that Mousavi had been killed. They referred to Mousavi as one of the most experienced advisors of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Syria."

"The attack occurred amid concerns that the war between Israel and the Hamas group in Gaza, Palestine, could escalate into a broader regional conflict, drawing in Iran-backed groups such as Hezbollah in southern Lebanon."

“Mousavi is one of the oldest IRGC commanders in Syria and Lebanon, he has been serving in this region since the 1980s,” said Al Jazeera correspondent, Ali Hashem. “According to our sources, Mousavi has been the target of several assassination attempts by Israel. However, at that time, those assassination attempts were successful. Israel accuses him of being a key figure in the smuggling network of weapons from Iran to Syria, to Iraq to Syria, and ending Hezbollah in Lebanon, and he is also very influential in what Iran calls the Resistance Axis,” added Hashem.

According to an IRNA report, Mousavi "was among those who accompanied Qassem Soleimani," the head of the IRGC's elite Quds Force, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in 2020. Soleimani played a crucial role in coordinating Iran's regional activities.

"Iranian media reported that President Ebrahim Raisi described the attack as a “sign of frustration and weakness of the Zionist regime in the region and they will surely bear the consequences.”"

"There's been no direct comment from the Israeli military, but Barak Ravid, a reporter for the US news site Axios, quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying that Israel is preparing a response that could include rocket attacks from Syria and Lebanon."
