It would seem that - while still prosecuting Hamas in Gaza - the Israelis have managed to conduct a daylight strike plunking the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria. A senior IRGC commander is killed in the strike.
Snippets from the Guardian's full story (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/01/israeli-airstrike-on-iranian-consulate-in-damascus-kills-six-including-irgc-commander):
Israeli warplanes have destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing six people including a senior commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
Reporters at the scene in the Mezzeh district of the Syrian capital saw smoke rising from the rubble of a building that had been flattened, and emergency vehicles parked outside. The Syrian and Iranian foreign ministers were both seen at the scene.
Iranian state media said Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander of the IRGC, was among the dead. An Israeli military spokesperson said: “We do not comment on reports in the foreign media.”
This is my sad face about the IGRC casualties. :D
