An Israeli air strike outside the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday killed a senior adviser in Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Sayyed Razi Mousavi was responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran.
Iran's state television interrupted its regular news broadcast to announce that Mousavi had been killed. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the assassination of Mousavi showed weakness on the part of Israel. The Revolutionary Guards said Israel would suffer for killing Mousavi, who held the Guards' rank of brigadier-general.
