Israel to ‘certainly pay’ for killing senior general: Iranian president

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says Israel “will certainly pay” for the killing in Syria of a senior general with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“Without a doubt, this action is another sign of frustration, helplessness and incapacity of the usurping Zionist regime [Israel] in the region,” Raisi said in a statement.

Sayyed Razi Mousavi held the rank of major general and was in charge of a “resistance support unit” in Syria, Iran said. Sources told Al Jazeera three Israeli missiles hit the building where he was staying, killing him instantly.

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem is in Naqoura in Southern Lebanon for more about this.
