IRGC Confirms Martyrdom of General in Beirut
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps confirmed that its senior commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforooshan has been martyred along with the secretary general of Hezbollah in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.
General Nilforooshan, senior commander of the IRGC Quds Force and commander of the IRGC in Lebanon, has been pronounced martyred in the Israeli attack that targeted a number of residential buildings in Beirut’s densely populated southern suburb of Dahiyeh on September 27.
The IRGC has, in a statement, strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s crimes in Lebanon, expressing condolences to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the family of the martyr, and the Iranian people.
In a message on Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei offered condolences on the martyrdom of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, who was assassinated in the massive Israeli airstrike on Beirut.
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the evil Zionist regime failed to achieve victory in this incident.
The Leader said the Hezbollah chief “was not just a person, but rather he was a path and a school of thought and this path will continue.”
