Israel appears to have carried out a strike on a building next to the Iranian Consulate in Syria, killing top members of Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps terrorist apparatus. The strike sends an unmistakable signal to Iran, whose proxies are waging open war on the Jewish state. Tehran has sworn revenge and further escalation seems likely.

The strike on Monday killed seven people, including two top generals from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force: Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy, Mohammad-Haji Rahimi.
