BBC: Iran general died in 'Israeli strike' in Syrian Golan
WNU Editor: Apparently this General was coordinating Iran's support of the Assad regime in the Syrian civil war .... so his lost is a hist for Iran/Hezbollah/and the Syrian regime. There are also conflicting reports that 6 Iranian soldiers were also killed along with the 6 Hezbollah officials. It would not surprise me if this report is true .... I am sure that this Iranian General had a contingent of Iranian bodyguards, especially if he was traveling in what has been a war-zone since the start of the Syrian civil war. Israel (in the meantime) is preparing for blow-back .... Israel braces for early payback for deaths of Hizballah officers, Iranian general on Golan. (Debka)
