Israel Counters Iran's Direct Involvement in Attacks


(Ynet News) Ron Ben Yishai - Sayyed Reza Mousavi was the third brigadier general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to be targeted in Syria in recent months. Iraqi Shiite militias based in Syria launched an attack drone at Eilat in November, which damaged a school. The attack was supervised of Col. Davoud Jafari of the IRGC's air force. Jafari was killed later that month in a strike attributed to Israel. Tehran's direct involvement was seen in the launch by an Iraqi militia of an attack drone at the Karish natural gas rig off the Israeli coast earlier this week, which was shot down by IDF air defenses. Iran recently supplied Hizbullah in Lebanon with advanced anti-aircraft systems, which have already been put to use. Iran directs the actions of the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It provides them with weapons and intelligence to identify ships connected to Israel sailing off Yemen's shores in the Red Sea.
