An Israeli airstrike reportedly killed Iran’s senior commander in Damascus, Syria.
Mohammed Reza Zahedi, Iran’s top general in the Quds Force of the IRGC, was killed along with his lieutenant and several other high-ranking officers, according to Reuters.
The Iranian consulate was reportedly flattened in the airstrike.
Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist group that acts as Iran’s proxy in Syria and the surrounding region, vowed revenge.
“This crime will not pass without the enemy receiving punishment and revenge,” Hezbollah said.
Reuters reported:
Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday in a strike that Iran said killed seven of its military advisers, including three senior commanders, and that marked a major escalation in Israel’s war with its regional adversaries.
Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.
“We strongly condemn this atrocious terrorist attack that targeted the Iranian consulate building in Damascus and killed a number of innocents,” said Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad who was seen at the site along with Syria’s interior minister.

Israel is doing a fantastic work!
Too bad that some “Hanoi Jane” pacifists / hippies in congress (like Gaetz) have stopped all support for Israel.
We will not forget.
Any nation in the world who seeks to harm Israel will find God’s wrath upon it. God’s wrath will come when He chooses. For some it will not occur until the end of the world (Revelation 18:1-2,24; 20:11-15). Another important passage is found in Genesis 27:29. It has the same idea of Genesis 12:2-3.
Israel is an ally.
Ukraine (via the Soviet Union) has not been an ally since WWII.
So to whom do our geniuses in Congress send money to...Ukraine!
“Israel is an ally.
Ukraine (via the Soviet Union) has not been an ally since WWII.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So why does “The Joker” Gaetz refuse to support Israel with US military aid then!? Gaetz should be ashamed.
Also:
Ukraine is officially Americas ally, and a very close one!
PROOF:
The United States-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Washington, DC
December 19, 2008
Preamble
The United States of America and Ukraine:
Affirm the importance of our relationship as friends and strategic partners. We intend to deepen our partnership to the benefit of both nations and expand our cooperation across a broad spectrum of mutual priorities.
Emphasize that this cooperation between our two democracies is based on shared values and interests. These include expanding democracy and economic freedom, protecting security and territorial integrity, strengthening the rule of law, and supporting innovation and technological advances.
Stress our mutual desire to strengthen our relationship across the economic, political, diplomatic, cultural, and security fields.
Confirm the importance of the security assurances described in the Trilateral Statement by the Presidents of the U.S., Russian Federation and Ukraine of January 14, 1994, and the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of December 5, 1994.
Affirm the Priorities for U.S.-Ukraine Cooperation (Road Map) signed on March 31, 2008 and the commitments to a strategic partnership made by Presidents Bush and Yushchenko on April 4, 2005.
Section I: Principles of Cooperation
This Charter is based on core principles and beliefs shared by both sides:
Support for each other’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders constitutes the foundation of our bilateral relations.
Our friendship comes from mutual understanding and appreciation for the shared belief that democracy is the chief guarantor of security, prosperity and freedom.
Cooperation between democracies on defense and security is essential to respond effectively to threats to peace and security.
A strong, independent and democratic Ukraine, capable of responsible self-defense, contributes to the security and prosperity not only of all the people of Ukraine, but of a Europe whole, free and at peace.
Section II: Defense and Security Cooperation
The United States and Ukraine share a vital interest in a strong, independent, and democratic Ukraine. Deepening Ukraine’s integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions is a mutual priority. We plan to undertake a program of enhanced security cooperation intended to increase Ukrainian capabilities and to strengthen Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO membership.
Guided by the April 3, 2008 Bucharest Summit Declaration of the NATO North Atlantic Council and the April 4, 2008 Joint Statement of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, which affirmed that Ukraine will become a member of NATO.
Recognizing the persistence of threats to global peace and stability, the United States and Ukraine intend to expand the scope of their ongoing programs of cooperation and assistance on defense and security issues to defeat these threats and to promote peace and stability. A defense and security cooperation partnership between the United States and Ukraine is of benefit to both nations and the region.
Working within the framework of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, our goal is to gain agreement on a structured plan to increase interoperability and coordination of capabilities between NATO and Ukraine, including via enhanced training and equipment for Ukrainian armed forces.
Acknowledging the growing threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the United States and Ukraine pledge to combat such proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and dangerous technologies through adherence to international nonproliferation standards and effective enforcement and strengthening of export controls.

Great targeting
What?????
Gibberish
Whan was the last time Iran was not sabre rattling about revenge and dire consequences for enemies?
January 16, 1979 (last day of the Shah of Iran).
Agree.
This (center of photo) is/was a building that is immediately next to the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.
Either a device was set within the building, or a kinetic weapon was dropped - the resourceful party is UNKNOWN.
Looks like they got the message. Precisely.
Exactly.
Israel if the apple of God’s eye and whoever messes with Israel, messes with God.
It will not end well for them. NOBODY ever wins fighting God.
No money laundering going on through Israel.
I haven’t seen the list of Hezbollah operatives killed yet. Only the Iranians.
the parasite political class don’t get a return from Israel but they do with the Ukraine $$$$$$$
You mean that the General did not receive the bessings of 72 Virgins?
He died explosively while squatting on a comode?
Oh well.You win some and you lose some.
Alah Wahoo whack bar !
So why does “The Joker” Gaetz refuse to support Israel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Congressman Matt Gaetz wants the SOuthern border closed as a predicate to further aid to Israel.
To simply say he is against Israel is not correct in simple truth or in any truthful context.
Of course they are.
I can’t help but wonder who really did it so Israel could be blamed and it be used as an excuse to go after them.
Maybe Israel did. I n that case, they were successful.
But maybe they didn’t either.
And to think, Iran and Israel used to be on good terms. Then came Jimmy Carter and the Ayatollahs. and the world is still suffering from his ineptitude.

So you mean that Gatez can’t shew gum and walk at the same time?
He could also have said : “We’re not helping our Israeli allies, as long as ANTIFA has not been dismantled in America!”. What a disingenuous bad excuse.
It could take years to dismantle such such an organization... and in the meantime we abandon our ally Israel...
Gaetz acts against America’s interests in a very dangerous way.
If Israel falls, the catastrophic repercussions against America is unimaginable.
It would be the greatest win for anti-American Islamism since WW2, a defining defeat for America’s security.
