Iranian military commanders have promised to strike back at Israel for the Jan. 18 attack in Syria that killed an Iranian commander and six Hezbollah fighters.

The head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Ali Jaffari, said in a statement, “The Zionists must await devastating thunderbolts,” and “They have seen the rise of our anger in the past.” He added that the IRGC “will remain steadfast until the collapse of the Zionist regime.”
