<p>Israel killed a top commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday in airstrikes carried out in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/syria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syrian</a> capital of Damascus.</p>
<p>Iranian-state media said that Reza Mousawi, a high-ranking Iranian general, was killed in a strike on the Sayida Zeinab neighborhood. Israeli airstrikes in Syria earlier this month killed two other Iranian generals.</p>
<p>Reuters reported that Mousawi was responsible for coordinating Iran&#8217;s military alliance between Syria and Iran.</p>
<p>Israel did not comment on the strike, which is customary for their military.</p>
<p>&#8220;I won&#8217;t comment on foreign reports, these or others in the Middle East,&#8221; said IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. &#8220;The Israeli military obviously has a job to protect the security interests of Israel.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Various Iranian officials and entities vowed to retaliate against Israel for the killing of Mousavi.</p>
<p>Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi responded to the strike by saying, &#8220;This act is a sign of the Zionist regime&#8217;s frustration and weakness in the region for which it will certainly pay the price.&#8221;</p>
<p>The IRGC said, &#8220;The usurper and savage Zionist regime will pay for this crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Iran reserves the right to take necessary measures to respond to this action at the appropriate time and place,&#8221; said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani.</p>

<p>Joe Truzman, a research analyst for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), noted the close relationship that Mousawi had with former IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The curse of taking a photo with Soleimani claims another victim. Reza Mousawi, a high-ranking IRGC official was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Damascus today. <a href="https://t.co/bPcYKj9ea4">pic.twitter.com/bPcYKj9ea4</a></p>

<p>Soleimani, who was considered the second most powerful person in Iran, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2020 while traveling in Iraq. He was responsible for spreading Iran&#8217;s terror activities around the world and was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>
