IRGC to help Muslims fighting Israel: Gen. Jafari
The chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the elite forces will continue to help the anti-Israeli axis of resistance in the Middle East region until full obliteration of the Zionist regime.
“The IRGC…will continue and deepen its support for the Muslim combatants and fighters in the region until full removal of this very epitome of evil from the geopolitics of the region,” Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement came two days after the killing of an IRGC general in an Israeli airstrike on the occupied Golan Heights in Syria that also killed six members of the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.
Jafari said the assassination of Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi showed that "we should not distance ourselves from jihad."
"The Zionists should await annihilating thunderbolts,” he added.
Allahdadi had traveled to Syria to provide consultation and help the Syrian government and nation counter the Takfiri and Salafi terrorists in the war-stricken country.
On Sunday, an Israeli military helicopter fired two missiles into Amal Farms in the strategic southwestern city of Quneitra, close to line separating the Syrian part of the Golan Heights from the Israeli-occupied sector.
Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah confirmed the death of six fighters saying its response will be painful.
