It is also important to know here that Iran supports terrorist groups fighting Israel in Gaza and Lebanon. Clashes between Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters and Israel have escalated in Lebanon since the war in Gaza began nearly six months ago. Hamas, which rules Gaza, attacked Israel on October 7. Hamas also has the support of Iran.
Israel refused
Israel rarely acknowledges attacks on Iranian targets. He has refused to comment on this attack in Syria. However, an army spokesman blamed Iran for the drone attack early Monday on a naval base in southern Israel. An airstrike in Syria on Monday killed General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who led the elite Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria until 2016, according to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. General Mohammad Hadi Hazriyahimi and five other officers were also killed in this attack.

A Hezbollah spokesman told The Associated Press that a member of the group, Hussein Yusuf, was also killed in the attack. Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two Syrians were also killed in the attack. Two police officers guarding the Consulate were injured in the attack, and bodies are still being searched in the debris.
