Iran’s Top General: Israeli Assassination of Gen. Mousavi in Syria Won’t Go Unpunished

In a message on Tuesday, Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said the Israeli regime’s cowardly airstrike that resulted in the martyrdom of General Mousavi in Damascus was carried out in brazen violation of Syria’s sovereignty, contravened the international conventions, and laid bare the terrorist nature of Israel.
General Mousavi, a member of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps serving as a military adviser in Syria, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike in the residential neighborhood of Zeinabiyah district in the suburbs of Damascus on Monday.

Major General Baqeri said the martyr, who was in Syria as an adviser at the official invitation of the Damascus government, had a long record in fighting against terrorism.
