Thousands in Tehran mourn Iranian general killed by Israel Tehran (AFP) - Thousands gathered in Tehran Wednesday at a funeral procession for a Revolutionary Guards general killed by Israel, after his commander warned the Jewish state it should await destructive thunderbolts. General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi died alongside six fighters from Lebanons Hezbollah group in the attack Sunday near Quneitra on the Syrian-controlled side of the Golan Heights. Allahdadis coffin was draped in an Iranian flag as it was carried into a Guards base in southeast Tehran. He is to be buried on Thursday in Pariz, a town in the southern province of Kerman. The path of martyr Allahdadi is unstoppable and will be continued until the liberation of the Holy Quds (Jerusalem) and obliteration of the Zionist regime, Guards commander Major General Ali Jafari said at a ceremony at the base, according to the official IRNA news agency. The mourners chanted Death to Israel and burned two Israeli flags. Allahdadi died alongside Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of an assassinated Hezbollah commander, and Mohammed Issa, a fighter responsible for the Lebanese groups operations in Syria and Iraq. An Israeli security source told AFP one of its helicopters carried out the strike, but a United Nations observer force in the Golan on raised the possibility that drones may have been used. On Tuesday, Jafari took aim at Israel, saying the Zionists should await destructive thunderbolts. They have in the past seen our wrath, he said, adding the Guards will continue its support for Muslim fighters and combatants in the region. For his part, the defence minister, Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan, said this action of Zionists will not be left without a response. The important thing is the question of the time and place of this response. Mohsen Rezaie, secretary of Irans Expediency Council, added that Hezbollah would eventually retaliate against this recent atrocity, but that the group was prudent and has a long term plan and will not be infuriated.
