An Israeli airstrike in Damascus resulted in the death of Iranian General Seyed Razi Mousavi, a key figure in coordinating Iran-backed forces in Syria.
The move raised concerns of a broader regional conflict amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed revenge, stating that it reflects Israel’s “frustration and weakness.”
The incident follows earlier Israeli strikes killing two other generals in Syria this month.
The situation contributes to heightened tensions across the region, with potential repercussions in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.
