Dr. Mohammad Moghaddam, the head of international department of the institute along with Dr. Mohammad Ali Sobhani, a former Iranian ambassador to Lebanon expressed solidarity with Hezbollah in the wake of an Israeli airstrike that killed several of the Lebanese resistance movement’s members in Syria.
The senior officials from the institute for the compilation and publication of Imam Khomeini’s works offered their condolences to Abdullah Safiuddin who represents Hezbollah in Tehran.
The development came as six resistance members lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike on the southwestern strategic Syrian city of Quneitra on Sunday.
In a statement issued on the same day, Hezbollah said 25-year-old Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of late top Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh, and five other fighters lost their lives in the Israeli attack.
They were reportedly on a field reconnaissance mission in Quneitra when an Israeli military helicopter targeted their vehicle.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) also confirmed the killing of one of its generals in the airstrike. Slain Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi had traveled to Syria to provide consultation and help the Syrian government and nation counter the Takfiri and Salafi terrorists in the war-stricken country.
Hezbollah’s Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has repeatedly vowed that attacks by Israel will not go unpunished.
