IAF strike makes senior Iranian Guard commander an April fool

Rockets L to R: Badah, Boom, Badah, Bing

DAMASCUS, SYRIA -- On Monday, April Fool's Day, a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps became a cloud of dust and the lucky winner of not 20, not 30, but 72 virgins as the Israeli Air Force gave him the retirement party of his life. Literally.

The airstrike ended up  killing Mohammad Reza Zahedi along with several Iranian diplomats, according to reports by a Lebanese security source as told to Reuters.

The strike targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus where the former commander was planning something untoward toward you know, the Jews. Zahedi had been sanctioned in 2010 by the U.S. Treasury Department for playing a major role in Iran's support of Hezbollah and the Hesbollonian terrorists therein. 

Reuters reported that one of its journalists in Damascus saw smoke rising from the rubble of a building that was destroyed in the airstrike. Israel wisely has not confirmed its involvement and prefers to let its missiles do the talking.

"We do not comment on reports in the foreign media," an Israeli military spokesman told Reuters when asked about the matter.

One thing is certain, Zahedi was not in Syria to discuss the Annual Best Dressed Woman in a Burka on the Block Contest. He was known to sneak Iranian weapons to Hezbollah and he also acted as a liaison between Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria. 

Losing him was easier than anything we'll ever do again, as the song sort of goes.

Israel is quite good at eliminating the leadership of those who want to kill all the Jews.

In February the IAF killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike carried out in Lebanon, Fox News reported.

The IAF announced at the time that an overnight airstrike targeting a "Hezbollah military structure" in Nabatieh killed Ali Muhammad Aldbas, a senior commander of the Radwan forces. His deputy commander, Ibrahim Issa, and another a-hole terrorist were killed in the attack. 

Although the U.S. Treasury Department 2010 sanctions did nothing to stop Zahedi's actions, it seems as though rockets fired at supersonic speed did the trick and it looks as if the IAF is picking up the pace.
