Iranian Revolutionary Guard CorpsThe official news agency announced that the two officers, Ali Atai Sulse and Pana Tajizadeh, were killed by Israel while on a consultant mission in Syria. However, Israeli officials did not respond to this accusation.
Israeli airstrikes on Syria are no longer news. Since 2011Syrian civil warSince the outbreak, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes against targets inside Syria, mainly targeting the Syrian army and other pro-Iranian militias, including those in SyriaIranian Revolutionary Guard Corps。The airstrikes could be a powerful response from Israel to Iran, which has long believed that Iran was behind Hamas's attacks on Israel. In addition, Iran's bomb-making capabilities and threats to Israel are among the reasons for Israel's actions.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that at around 1:35 a.m. on December 2, Israel launched airstrikes from the Golan Heights against targets near the Syrian capital, Damascus. It is reported that twoIranian Revolutionary Guard CorpsOfficers were killed in the airstrike, and seven others were wounded. This air raid was caused againInternationalSocial concerns.

Previously, on November 8 and October 30, Israel also launched airstrikes on Syria, respectively, causing damage to the areaMilitaryPositions were destroyed. These successive air strikes demonstrate Israel's resoluteness towards Syria and its continued presence in the Middle EastMilitaryAdvantage.
The Middle East has always been one of the most volatile and tense in the world, and tensions between Israel and Iran, as one of the main players in the region, are often at high levels. Especially in recent years, Iran's ambitions for regional expansion have alarmed Israel, which has taken a series of actions to prevent the expansion of Iranian interests.
Israel's airstrikes on Syria are a powerful response to Iran. Iran has always supported SyriaMilitaryaction and provided Syria with a large number ofMilitaryAid. Israel believes that Iran is trying to establish itself in SyriaMilitarybases, and through these bases launched attacks on Israel. Therefore, Israel sees Iran as one of its greatest security threats and is determined to take all necessary measures to stop IranMilitaryLet's go.
In addition, Iran's threat to Israel is growing. Iran has repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map, declaring itMissilesThe capacity can cover any part of Israel. Recently, Iran introduced a new type of hypersonicMissiles, claiming to be able to hit any point in Israel in just 400 seconds. Such threatening rhetoric has caused a high degree of alarm in Israel, which believes that Iran'sMissilesCapabilities are constantly improving, posing a serious threat to their security.
What's more, Israel has long believed that Iran is attacking Israel by Hamas, an Islamist militant group that supports it. Hamas is an important Iranian in the Palestinian regionMilitaryPoliticsand financial resources are supported by Iran. Thus, Israel links dealing with Hamas with dealing with Iran, believing that by striking Hamas, Iran's influence in the Middle East can be contained. This is one of the reasons why Israel has stepped up its air strikes against targets in Syria.
The tension between Israel and Iran is not just a wrestling between the two sides of the conflict, but also involves a complex interweaving of regional interests, religious factors, historical hatred, and other factors.
The first is the collision of regional interests. The Middle East has always been a battleground for various countries to compete for interests. Iran wants to expand its influence to advance its idea of an "Islamic revolution" and establish a regional order that benefits Iran. Israel, on the other hand, seeks to ensure its own security and interests by preventing Iran's expansion in the Middle East. The opposing strategic objectives of the two countries naturally lead to conflict and tension.
The second is the role of religious factors. Iran and Israel asIslamwithJudaismOn behalf of the country, the contradictions and antagonisms between religions have also profoundly affected the attitudes of both sides towards each other. The Islamist regime in Iran believes that Israel isIslamRepresentatives of hostile forces, while Israel sees Iran as a threat to its own interests and security. The hostility and antagonism caused by religious beliefs are difficult to reconcile, which makes the confrontation between the two countries even more intense.
History andGeopoliticsfactors also play an important role in this tension. Israel was founded inWorld War IIAfter the Jews are great, and Iran is an abundanceIslamic cultureand traditional countries, there have been estrangements and misunderstandings between the two historically. In addition, Iran asPersian Empirehas been trying to play the role of a regional power, and Israel is trying to passMilitaryadvantages to establish their ownGeopoliticsStatus. This conflicting historical and geopolitical factor has exacerbated tensions between the two countries.
To sum up, the Israeli airstrikes on Syria killed themIranian Revolutionary Guard Corpsis an eruption of long-standing tensions between the two countries. Complexity in the Middle EastGeopolitics, religious factors, and historical hatred complicate and strain relations between Israel and Iran.
