While the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, the contradictions between Israel and Iran have also risen to a new level. Brigadier General Said Razi Mousavi, a military adviser to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, was killed in an attack, according to Russian satellites. According to a number of foreign media reports, the Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike on the Syrian capital Damascus late at night local time on December 25, and Mousavi was killed in the airstrike.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza, all parties in the Middle East have been embroiled. Israel, for its part, has been accusing Iran of supporting Hamas throughout the conflict. The Israeli bombing of Damascus, Syria, is said to have received intelligence that an Iranian military advisory group headed by Brigadier General Mousavi was meeting there, so Israel carried out a precise "hunt" operation.
Syria is in close proximity to Israel, and any disturbance will affect Israel. Previously, the Israeli side had carried out several air strikes on Damascus and Aleppo airports to cut off Iran's access to Hamas and Allah in Lebanon. And it is precisely because of the particularity of its geographical location that Syria has become a battlefield for Iran, Turkey, the United States, Russia and other countries.
In layman's terms, once Iran's armed forces can gain a foothold in Syria, then Syria will be a sharp sword to be inserted into the heart of Israel. Therefore, neither the United States nor Israel allowed a complete and powerful Syria to exist, which led to the bombing of Syria at both ends in three days.
Israel has been a source of concern for these Iranian military personnel hiding in Syria, and according to information received from the Israeli side, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps military advisory group is based in Damascus, Syria, and advises Hamas in Gaza, causing huge losses on the Israeli side. And these Iranian military advisers are uncertain and have excellent counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
After continuous follow-up, Israeli intelligence finally succeeded in obtaining access to Brigadier General Mousavi on 25 December. Brigadier General Mousavi will return to a residence on the outskirts of Damascus after a military meeting, and it is at this time that the Israeli side launched air strikes.
After receiving the mission, the Israeli Air Force immediately sent warplanes into the air, and three missiles penetrated the Syrian air defense network and successfully hit Brigadier General Mousaoui's residence in the suburbs of Damascus, and when rescuers arrived at the scene, Brigadier General Mousavi was dead.
According to Brigadier General Mousavi, who reviewed the life of Iran**, he was one of the longest-serving and most experienced advisers to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria. Iranian military advisers entered Syria as early as 2013, when Iran supported Bashar al-Assad and sent military advisers to train the Syrian army, while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps supported several militia forces.
Due to geopolitical and religious factors, Iran believes that supporting Syria will help preserve its interests and influence in the Middle East. In addition, Syria serves as an important transmission channel between Iran and Shiite forces such as Allah in Lebanon, so mastering influence in Syria is critical to expanding Iran's influence in the region.
However, Iran's move has led to escalating tensions with Israel. Israel strongly opposes Iran's establishment of a military presence near its borders and frequently carries out air strikes. Israel fears that these actions will increase its *** threat and seeks to curb Iran's efforts to expand in the region in a number of ways.
As we all know, Iran is very tough on both Israel and the United States. As far as Iran is concerned, as long as it controls Syria, it has the geographical conditions to strike at the core of Israel, so Iran will not give up under any circumstances. It would be a mistake for Israel to simply think that Iran would compromise without Brigadier General Mousavi, and Israel's air strikes will not only fail to deter Iran, but will only provoke more violent retaliation from Iran.
Judging from this matter, I believe that Iran's retaliation will come soon, even if the Iranian regular army will not end up in person, but Iran supports a large number of armed people in the Middle East, as long as there is a little movement, Israel will not be able to eat and go around.
Just recently, there was an Iranian drone attack on an Israeli freighter, and the Israeli freighter was attacked by Iranian drones in the Indian Ocean. The incident also sends a major signal to Israel that Iran has the ability to balance the various routes of Israeli freighters.
Although the Israeli army is fighting in Gaza, it needs money to fight. As long as Iran frequently attacks Israel's cargo shipping lines, it will inevitably affect Israel's economy in the long run. Once there is a problem in Israel's economy, how will this battle be fought?
The ** armed forces supported by Iran are basically outlaws who have enough time and energy to consume with Israel, while Iran is waiting for work, and Israel will eventually be exhausted.
