🇮🇱🇮🇷🇸🇾 The Internet is abuzz with discussions about the Israeli Air Force strike on the western outskirts of Damascus today. Iranian media has confirmed that among the casualties was Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi (pictured), from the Al-Quds Force, who was responsible for IRGC operations in Syria and Lebanon.

Israeli media depict Zahedi as a crucial IRGC general who orchestrated all attacks on Israel through Iranian-controlled forces. These assertions are not unfounded, as he was in charge of “Department 2000,” which was engaged in operations in the Levant.

Furthermore, Mohammad Reza Zahedi has become the highest-ranking IRGC general to be killed by Israeli forces. This event marks the most significant loss for Iran since the death of commander-in-chief Qassem Soleimani in a US drone attack in January 2020.

❗️The question on most observers' minds is what triggered such a significant strike. One theory suggests that this was in retaliation to a nighttime drone attack on a naval base in Eilat. However, that strike was relatively minor and had far fewer consequences compared to the incident in Damascus.

🔻The events in the Syrian capital foreshadow a potential escalation in the Middle East. The primary concern currently is how Iran will retaliate to the attack. Possible responses include activating pro-Iranian proxies, who have only issued threats in recent weeks, and intensifying Hezbollah’s strikes on northern Israel.

Nonetheless, a direct confrontation between Iran and Israel is not anticipated, despite some representatives of the ultra-Orthodox government's inclination towards it. The most advantageous scenario for Iran is to maintain the status quo while indirectly supporting Israel’s adversaries.
