A Severe Blow to Iran and Hizbullah
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Gen. Mohamad Reza Zahedi was a familiar figure in Syria and Lebanon for almost 30 years and was particularly close to Hizbullah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, serving as the liaison between him and Tehran, and as someone who was very knowledgeable about Hizbullah operations. Other senior Iranians killed included Zahedi's deputy, Haji Rahimi, and his chief of staff, Hussein Amir Allah. The message here is that Iran is starting to pay a higher price for its involvement in attacks against Israel carried out through its proxies. It is not immune from counterattacks. Media outlets showed an old photo of senior Hizbullah and Revolutionary Guards members. Five people, including Zahedi, are in the photo; of the five, only Nasrallah is still alive.
