Brigadier General Seyed Razi Mousavi was martyred Monday in an Israeli raid in Damascus suburb in Syria, according to a statement from IRGC public relations. He was one of the IRGC's veteran advisers in Syria and a close associate of Tehran’s anti-terror icon Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in a US terror attack in Iraq in January 2020.
Iran maintains an advisory mission in the war-ravaged country at the request of Damascus, helping it in the face of foreign-backed terrorism. Several members of the IRGC have so far been martyred in battle against terrorists in Syria. Israel has been a key supporter of the terrorist groups during the war and has frequently targeted military positions inside Syria.
Iran will deliver a “mighty and wise response” to the Israeli strike at the appropriate time, location and method in such a way that the Zionist regime’s purposes in carrying out these terror attacks won’t be fulfilled (SOURCE: FARSNEWS).
