Iran Condemns Israeli Attack on Hizbullah, Describes it as 'State Terrorism'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said on Monday that he "vigorously condemns" the Israeli strike that killed six Hizbullah fighters in Syria.

Zarif said Sunday's strike was no surprise, describing it as "state terrorism" by Israel.

“We condemn all actions of the Zionist regime as well as all acts of terror,” Zarif told Press TV.

"This has been a practice followed for a very long time,” he said.

Among the Hizbullah members killed in the attack in the Mazraat al-Amal area on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, close to the Israeli-controlled frontier, is Jihad Mughniyeh.

Jihad is the son of Imad Mughniyeh, a top Hizbullah operative assassinated in a car bombing in Damascus in 2008.

He is the most prominent Hizbullah figure killed in the neighboring country since the party joined the war in 2012, fighting alongside President Bashar Assad's troops against the rebels seeking to topple him.

the Iranians that Israel killed yesterday must have been of importance :)

Anyway, both iran and Israel are terrorists, and as long as their terrorist acts are executed against each other, they are welcome to kill each other for as much as they want.

What exactly were Iranian military commanders doing in Syria?
If they weren't interfering there, they couldn't have got killed.
