Iran Revolutionary Guards Commander Killed in Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Islamic State group jihadists have killed a senior commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards in Syria, the elite branch of the Iranian military said Friday.
General Hossein Hamedani was killed on Thursday by IS "during an advisory mission" in the northern region of Aleppo, a Guards statement said.
Hamedani had been playing an "important role... reinforcing the front of Islamic resistance against the terrorists", it added.
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, described Hamedani's death as "a huge loss" in the fight against jihadist groups in Syria.
Quoted by the IRNA news agency, he said the loss would be "avenged" and that this would lead to the "complete destruction" of these groups.
Shiite-dominated Iran is a staunch ally of President Bashar al-Assad, sending Guards forces and military advisers to aid him against Sunni Muslim rebels seeking his overthrow.
Lebanon's Shiite militia Hezbollah has done much of the fighting to prop up the Syrian army, though the commander of the Revolutionary Guards' foreign wing, Qassem Soleimani, is said to be heavily involved in guiding military strategy.

The first major offensive under Russian air cover has been a complete disaster. The FSA and its allies destroyed 18 syrian assadi tanks in what was referred to yesterday as "massacre of the tanks". TOW missiles rained on assad advancing tanks and they retreated where they came from.

Ambassador Ghazanfar Rokanabadi and General Hossein Hamedani are both safe and sound down here. They are having a great time and seem not to mind the boiling temperatures.
