The Bloomberg television network revealed overnight into Saturday that in the attack attributed to Israel at the Iranian consulate in Syria, the entire command hierarchy responsible for the activities of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon was killed.
According to the report, "the senior officers were pivotal for Hezbollah's activities in the region.".
Shortly before the attack, the senior ranking officials of the IRGC in Syria met on the second floor of the consulate building and decided to stay there.
The strike at the Iranian consulate in Syria led Iran, for the first time, to respond directly and attack Israel.
Immediately after the assassination, Iran began suspecting that groups in Syria were involved in several assassination cases of IRGC personnel in the country over the past few years.
Iran’s suspicion focuses on 18 commanders who were assassinated over a short time in attacks that were attributed to Israel.
This is according to a Syrian defector who opposed the Assad regime, who claims to have spoken with an Iranian official. »
