Iran has vowed to take revenge against Israel in response to the death in Syria of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Colonel Davoud Jafari, a military adviser from the IRGC’s aerospace division.
Iran claimed Wednesday in a statement that Jafari was “martyred by the Zionist agents with a roadside bomb” overnight near Damascus.

According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Jafari was a drone and air defense expert who was killed, together with his Syrian bodyguard, when their car was blown up by a roadside bomb in the suburb of Sayyida Zeinab, near Damascus International Airport.
Last week the IRGC carried out a drone attack on an Israeli-owned oil tanker off the coast of Oman.
