Report: Quds Force Commander Soleimani Visited Southern Syria Two Days before Iranian Rocket Attack on Israel

(Maariv-Jerusalem Post) Yasser Okbi - "Quds Force commander Maj.-Gen. Qasem Soleimani visited southern Syria, and that was the trigger for the current round of Israeli-Iranian conflict," the Kuwaiti paper Al-Jarida reported. "Soleimani's visit to a location less than 40 km. from the ceasefire line in the Golan Heights violated a previous American-Russian-Israeli agreement." Soleimani's visit, which was monitored by intelligence officials, occurred two days before Iranian forces fired a missile at the Israeli Golan Heights on Sunday. A senior Iranian official said the Russians notified the Iranians 30 minutes in advance about which targets Israel would attack. He said the Iranians managed to evacuate the areas and minimize the damage. )
