The Revolutionary Guards said Gen Allah-Dadi had been killed while defending the people of Syria
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)

You know the Iraqi/Syrian theatre is getting a little dicey for top Iranian brass lately.
They are on the front lines .... I have to give them credit on that.
Whatever happened to the
senior Iranian General
that was supposedly badly
wounded a week or so back?
Did that story ever get
any follow up?

You are thinking of Qasem Soleimani. Iran is saying that he is OK .... but no one has seen him since he was reported wounded in an Islamic State attack. The Iranian link saying that he is OK is here .... http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/01/15/393274/Major-General-Soleimani-not-injured-Iran
Thanks.
