The terrorist organization Hezbollah blames Israel for the assassination of Seyyed Reza Mousavi, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria, and says that this assassination is a clear and brazen attack that constitutes the crossing of a line.
Earlier, the president of Iran, Ibrahim Raisi, responded to the assassination and said that "There is no doubt that this action is another sign of the frustration, the helplessness and the inability of the occupying Zionist regime to live in the Middle East. There is no doubt that they will pay the price for this assassination."
In the meantime, Israel is preparing for the possibility of a response from Iran in the north, with the security system being on alert in recent hours. The war cabinet will meet tonight and is expected to discuss the situation on the northern front, alongside the previously planned discussion on the contacts with Egypt and Qatar and their proposals for a ceasefire in Gaza.
As mentioned, in Syria it was reported earlier today about explosions that were heard in the Shiite quarter in the southeast of Damascus, which they claim is an Israeli attack. Iran later confirmed that Mousavi was killed in an explosion that occurred as a result of an airstrike in his home. Mousavi was a close associate of the former commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, and served as the commander of the Iranian forces in Syria.
