IRGC chief: Resistance front highly resolved to take revenge on ‘israel’ for recent crimes
The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Israel’s recent crimes in the region provoke more wrath among the resistance fighters to take revenge against the regime.
Major General Hossein Salami made the remark in a message on Thursday to commemorate an Iranian military advisor, identified as Milad Bidi, who has been named among the victims of a recent Israeli assassination operation against Lebanon’s capital Beirut that claimed the life of a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah as well.
Bidi was martyred on Tuesday when the attack targeted the building accommodating Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Salami praised the martyred advisor for his great efforts to defend the Islamic Revolution and establishment and safeguard the country’s security and peace in the face of the enemies’ plots.
Bidi’s efforts to cooperate with the resistance fighters in the battle against the “executioner, criminal and occupying” Israeli regime will be remembered forever and will inspire the zealous Iranian youths, especially the new IRGC generation, the commander emphasized.
Bidi was located in the vicinity of the building at the time of the attack that struck Haret Hreik neighborhood in Beirut’s suburbs.
The Israeli regime carried out the assassination after alleging that Shukr had been behind a rocket strike against the town of Majdal Shams in Syria’s Tel Aviv-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 people on Saturday.
Hezbollah has strongly denied any role in the incident, denouncing the Israeli claims as “false allegations.”
Also on Wednesday, another assassination operation claimed the lives of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards in Tehran. The Palestinian resistance leader was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
